Preparation

Step 1

1. Cook pasta according to package instructions, drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
2. While pasta is boiling, prepare the dressing. In a jar combine all dressing ingredients. Cover and shake to
combine. Chill until ready to use.
3. In a large bowl toss together pasta, spinach, raisins, nuts, mandarin oranges, and cilantro. Just before
serving pour dressing over salad, toss, and serve.
Notes
If possible, opt for a thicker teriyaki sauce. My favorite brand is Kikkoman.
