I recently saw this Spinach Salad with Teriyaki Bowties recipe on Marta Writes blog and it reminded me of a recipe I used to make but somehow lost the recipe. I had cut it out of the newspaper and the clipping ended up lost before I had a chance to type it up. I was happy to find it again and made it for dinner that night. My husband loves anything with teriyaki and I remembered that he had loved it! It is simple and easy and I usually have most of the ingredients on hand. Except this time I was out of sesame seeds, and I used a yelow bell pepper instead of the called for red. I think red would look better and stand out more, but the yellow one tasted great. We don’t like the craisins with teriyaki combo, so I leave those out. Other than that, we think this salad is great! I think you will love it too! Thanks Marta for the reminder!

Spinach Salad with Teriyaki Bowties
Ingredients
- 6 oz. Bowtie pasta, cooked and cooled
- 1 – 2 bags of fresh baby Spinach
- 2 small cans Mandarin Oranges
- 1 cup Craisins (I left this out)
- 1 Red Pepper, chopped (I used yellow)
- 1 can Water Chestnuts
- 1 bunch Green Onions, chopped
- 1 cup Honey Roasted Peanuts or Cashews
- 1/2 cup fresh Parsley (optional)
- 1/4 cup Sesame Seeds, toasted (optional)
- 2 cups torn cooked Chicken (optional)
Dressing:
- 1 cup Vegetable Oil
- 2/3 cup White Wine Vinegar
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 1/2 tsp. Black Pepper
- 2/3 C. Teriyaki Sauce
- 5 Tbs. Sugar
- Cook bowtie pasta according to directions, drain and cool while whisking the dressing together in a large bowl.
- Marinate cooked bowtie pasta in the dressing for 1 hour or longer in the fridge.
- Combine salad ingredients in a large bowl and pour the teriyaki sauce and pasta over the salad, toss together and serve.
- If it’s just a few of you, make individual salad servings; keeping the salad and bowtie sauce separate for the rest of the week (no one likes a soggy salad).
