I first had this pasta salad at a wedding shower and just had to have the recipe! It has become a family favorite and is served at almost every family function! Prep and cook time does not include refrigeration time which should be at least 12 hours. Ingredients:
5 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed |
1 lb bow tie pasta, cooked |
1/2 lb snow peas, blanched 3 minutes |
1 red pepper, chopped |
3 green onions, sliced |
1 can sliced water chestnut |
1 cup slivered almonds, toasted |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
2 tablespoons parsley |
1 teaspoon dry mustard |
1 teaspoon fresh ginger or 1/2 dried ginger |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Combine all salad ingredients and toss with dressing.
2. Refrigerate at least overnight before serving.
3. I also recommend making a second batch of the dressing and tossing it with the salad just before serving as the pasta soaks up most of the dressing.
