Hello dear reader and thank you for dropping by today! I have an incredible recipe to share with you. I came by this heavenly salad recipe at a bridal shower this past summer. It received rave reviews from those in attendance. Everyone kept going back for more, saying “Wow, this is amazing!” and “I’ve never tasted anything like it!” and “What is in that dressing that makes it so good!”. We all loved it. I hunted down the recipe from my dear friend Kristine, and she was more than happy to share it with us. Pretty nice of her, right?

This fabulous salad is hearty and filling with and amazing teriyaki flavor. It’ may sound strange to feature “teriyaki” as the main flavor of a salad, but trust me friends, it’s not. It’s absolutely delicious!

Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki Marinade and Sauce 42 oz. Bottle

I will mention, that it’s important to use this brand of Teriyaki Sauce in the recipe. I have tried it with a couple of other brands, and they were both much too salty. Stick with the Soy Vay Brand, my friends. It can be a little bit tricky to find, however it is available on Amazon. (What would we do without Amazon, seriously. Life changing!)

Enjoy!

  1. Does this recipe also include dried cranberries? It looks so from the photo, but I don’t see them in the ingredients.

    This looks terrific!

    1. Jan,
      Good gracious! Yes, you’ll only want 1/3 C vinegar. 😉 Thank you for catching that. You’ll also need 1 C craisins.
      Thanks for your patience!
      Best,

  2. I have a hard time cooking bow tie pasta so that it’s evenly cooked; not crunchy at the crimp and floppy at the wings. What’s the best way to cook this particular pasta shape? (Usually when I see bow ties, I swap out a different shape!)

    1. Hi Karen,
      This is a great recipe to try your hand at cooking bowtie pasta. The noodles soak in the teriyaki sauce for many hours, helping the folded part of the pasta to soften up a bit. Give it a try!
      Best,
