My Sister-in-law always makes yummy salads.  This is one of her recipes I love.  I like it best with the asparagus.  Try it out sometime!

Ingredients:
12 ounce spiral or bowtie pasta (follow cooking instructions on bag)
3 cups shredded or chopped up cooked chicken. ( boil about 3-4 chicken breasts)

1 bunch geen onion cut diagonal
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 green pepper

1/4 cup sunflower seed (optional)
1 bag of spinach or 1 bunch of asparagus. (when use asparagus just boil them in boiling water until tender -crunchy tender- not mushy)

Dressing:
1 cup oil (canola or vegetable oil)
2/3 cup soy sauce
2/3 cup white vinegar
6 TBS sugar
1 1/2 tsp pepper

Mix all the salad ingredients and marinate it with half of the dressing overnight or 2-3 hours before serving.(store salad in fridge while marinating) Add spinach or asparagus (chopped) and the remaining half of the dressing to the salad right before serving.

ENJOY!!!
