Spinach and Bowtie Salad

We had a really fun play date at my aunt Suzie's house today. I have the coolest aunts and cousins! I brought a rushed, larger version of this very yummy salad.

16 oz Bowtie Pasta, cooked
1 Bunch of Green Onions Chopped
2-3 C Chicken Cooked and Diced
6 oz Honey Roasted Peanuts
1 or 2 Bags Spinach
2 Cans Mandarin Oranges
1/2 C Chopped Parsley - optional
1/2 C Sunflower Seeds - optional
6 oz Craisins - optional

Dressing:
1/2 C Canola Oil
1 C Teriyaki
2/3 C White Vinegar
6 T Sugar (I use 3)
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Peppersesame seeds (I just use black pepper)

Make dressing. Marinate pasta, chicken and green onions in dressing 2-3 hours before serving. Add rest of ingredients, toss, and serve.
