Sesame Pasta Chicken Salad

This one's from my friend Ashley. I'm not sure where she got it... probably All Recipes. 

I tried a similar one of these the other day and I like Ashley's so much better even though it calls for some ingredients that I only use for this salad, they keep well in the fridge or cupboard. 

Sesame Pasta Chicken Salad

1/3 c sesame seeds
16 oz bow tie pasta
3/4 c veg. oil
1/2 c light soy sauce
1/2 c rice vinegar
1 and 1/2 tsp sesame oil
1/4 c sugar
3/4 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp black pepper
chicken (torn up into small pieces)
1/2 c cilantro
1/2 c green onion
carrots and celery cut into small cubes

Add first 9 ingredients together to mix and put in some sort of jar, or salad dressing server. I reused a jelly container that you squeeze out. It works great! And Mix or shake. 


Then pour over the rest of the ingredients. 



This recipe can be made the day before an event with the sauce on it and it only gets better and more flavorful the longer it sits. This recipe is simply delicious goodness.

Carbs: Just try to measure out the noodles. Everything else is pretty much free (maybe add 5 grams for the sugar dressing).
