This pasta salad is full of Asian flavor, with a touch of a nice array of textures and colors that would be a welcome addition to any summer evening meal, or a quick, lunch on the go.

Ingredients

1 (12 oz dry) box of pasta, cooked and cooled
1/3 cup peanuts
1/3 cup craisins
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
1 can water chestnuts
a small handful of peanuts (I used honey roasted)

Vinaigrette

1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
3 tbsp rice wine vinegar
3 tbsp cider vinegar
3 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

Cook pasta, drain, rinse and set aside in a large bowl.

Mix vinaigrette ingredients together in a small bowl until well blended. Pour over pasta. Add the rest of the ingredients and toss gently until everything is well coated.

Chill until serving.
