Love this salad. It's the honey and mayo combo that tastes just right. Course nothing wrong with the pasta and the mandarin oranges and the sugar peas and the green onions. Mmmm. Mmmm. Mmmm. I have adapted this recipe from a Josi Kilpack murder mystery recipe. If you like mysteries, I suggest you give her books a try. I've read and enjoyed them all. (Terry)
FRUITY PASTA SALAD
2 C mayo
1 tp minced garlic
½ tp celery seed
½ C honey
1 tp salt
½ tp pepper
2-3 chicken breasts, diced
16 oz tri-colored rotini
30 oz mandarin oranges, drained
¼ pound sugar snap peas, sliced diagonally
½ C chopped green onions
Chow mein noodles (optional)
Mix together: mayo, garlic, celery seed, honey, salt, pepper. Cover and set in fridge.
Dice chicken and stir fry in pan until done.
Meanwhile, cook pasta until done and drain.
Gently combine all ingredients, except chow mein noodles, in a large bowl. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Sprinkle with chow mein noodles. Serves 12.
NOTE: You can also simmer the chicken in salted water. Let it cool a little, and then cut into bite-sized pieces.
