The flavors are so delicious and you\u2019ll want to bring it to every gathering. Here are some tips and ideas to make it your own.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make Ahead: <\/strong>This teriyaki spinach pasta salad can be prepared in advance! Prep all the add-ins and store them in containers. Make the dressing and refrigerate, then cook and chop the chicken. Cook the pasta ahead of time, then assemble when you\u2019re ready to serve. You can even assemble it and refrigerate it for up to 2 hours before serving. All of the ingredients hold up well and marinate together!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Different Fruit: <\/strong>Grapes or pineapple would be delicious in this salad. Experiment and make it your own!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nuts: <\/strong>I love any type of honey-roasted nuts because it adds sweetness, but any type of nuts can be used in this salad. Raw, toasted, caramelized\u2026you decide!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chicken: <\/strong>I LOVE using leftover grilled chicken in the recipe. The grilled flavor pairs well with the teriyaki dressing. Any leftover chicken will work. Use baked, shredded, or even a rotisserie chicken.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Marinate the Pasta and Dressing: <\/strong>This pasta salad gets even better as it sits! Toss some of the dressing with the pasta ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 2 hours. Add the remaining dressing and ingredients then enjoy!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve as a Meal: <\/strong>This makes the perfect light dinner! It has chicken, pasta, veggies, and fruit! All-in-one salad.
