Amy's Magic Salad


My sister-in-law Amy is an amazing cook. 
Last year she made this salad and it was gone in five minutes. 
It's incredible. 
It is everything you'd want in a salad. 
Pasta... Craisins... Chicken... 
The perfect summer salad. 

Your mouth is watering, I know.
First, you'll need to boil a pound of Penne or Bowtie pasta and soak it in the oil, vinegar,
 and Teriyaki dressing overnight, turning it over once.
Grill and shred about four or five chicken tenderloins in butter or oil. Season them with salt and pepper.
Chop up some peppers and green onions
Throw it all together with some spinach, Craisins, slivered almonds, and Parmesan cheese. Yum!
Dish yourself up some deliciousness.
 This recipe makes a lot of salad. I tend to mix a little at a time so that we can non-soggy leftovers :)
Get some.
