Sesame Pasta Chicken Salad image

A refreshing light pasta salad with a delicious Asian flair. Great for a summer cookout or picnic. Tastes great right away, and even better if you can allow it to marinate for a while.

Time 30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup sesame seeds
1 (16 ounce) package bow tie pasta
½ cup vegetable oil
⅓ cup light soy sauce
⅓ cup rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cups shredded, cooked chicken breast meat
⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro
⅓ cup chopped green onion

Steps:

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sesame seeds, and cook stirring frequently until lightly toasted. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain pasta, and rinse under cold water until cool. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine vegetable oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, sesame seeds, ginger, and pepper. Shake well.
  • Pour sesame dressing over pasta, and toss to coat evenly. Gently mix in chicken, cilantro, and green onions.
