Sesame Pasta Salad image

Based on the Sesame Pasta Chicken Salad recipe from Allrecipes. I replaced the chicken in the original recipe with cabbage and use coconut sugar for an extra bit of flavor... this is a hit wherever I take it, especially with my vegan friends! I think this tastes better prepared the day before.

SESAME PASTA CHICKEN SALAD



Sesame Pasta Chicken Salad image

A delicious pasta salad using bow-tie pasta. It is great as a side dish or as a light lunch. As with any pasta dish, the longer you allow it to marinate in the refrigerator the better the flavor will be. The recipe doesn't call for salad to marinate in the refrigerator but I recommend it.
