This was a huge hit! I added the dressing right before I served it and this kept the salad from wilting. We had it for lunch and dinner the next night! Yummy!

This is wonderful. I had to make a slight change as I didn't have dry onion soup mix, so I used a package of dry Italian Salad Dressing mix. The recipe makes a lot of sauce, next time I will use more pasta.

This is delicious. Everyone loved it and asked for the recipe. I doubled the dressing so I could have some to add the next day - the noodles absorbed it.

Love, love, love this recipe ever since I had it at a pampered chef party years ago! It's my go to salad for potlucks and is always a crowd pleaser!

Very, very good! I made it exactly as written except I used chopped almonds rather than sliced as I couldn't find sliced. After trying it as written, I thought a bit of crushed red pepper would be a nice touch (but I didn't add it for the kids) so I sprinkled crushed red pepper over mine and my husband's. This will make the monthly menu!

The first time I made this, I followed the recipe exactly. The dish just didn't have enough flavor. The second time, I made a larger batch of dressing and substituted homemade onion soup mix. I also threw together a bunch of the dressing ingredients to make a marinade for the chicken. I let both the dressing and chicken sit overnight. WOW, it was so much better this time! Just a tip, though: maybe I used too much dressing, but the spinach got slimy quite quickly. This definitely meant to be eaten right away.

Mmmmm! This was yummy! I did omit the oil and used vegetarian chicken. I have never cooked w/ onion soup mix, but I did love the dressing! Thanks!

Love, love, love the salad portion of this recipe -- so colorful, it's like eating the rainbow :) ... Unfortunately though, did not love, love, love the dressing. The onion soup mix tries to mimic a soy/umami component, but it's too salty and too freeze-dried-oniony.... hence the excess liquid of the oil, juice and vinegar is needed to compensate, but it just ends up pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Will use this same concept again, just with a different dressing.

I was very disappointed after all the work that went into this salad. No one really liked it. It was very bland and I wanted to add soy sauce, but was out! I did use the onion soup mix suggested by the first reviewer and my grocery store did not have sesame oil. I really doubt whether that would have salvaged it. I added more rice vinegar and sugar and salt.
