Wendy's Chicken Teriyaki Salad


This is the best food ever! The fabulous Miss Wendy Wallace introduced our family to this recipe several years ago, and whenever I make it, I make sure that there's lots of leftovers so that I can eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the next couple of days. I just can't get enough of it!
This recipe is very flexible, and you can make it to your liking.

4 chicken breasts (marinated and cooked in Yoshida Teriyaki sauce)
pineapple tidbits, drained
apples, diced
celery, diced
green grapes, diced
green onions, chopped
sliced almonds
bow tie pasta, cooked, drained and cooled

Dressing:
1/3 cup plain yogurt
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp. fresh grated ginger
2-3 tsp. lime juice
2-3 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. sesame seeds

* I like to use only yogurt and to omit the mayonnaise. I usually put a lot more ginger and lime juice than it calls for because I like them pretty strong. To be honest, I usually just add the ingredients listed until the dressing tastes how I want it to. I also rarely use the sesame seeds in the dressing.
It's easiest often to start with an amount of pasta and then to add in the ingredients so that you get as much of each as you want.
Enjoy!
