Sesame Ginger Soy Pasta Salad with Chopped Chicken
This Sesame Ginger Soy pasta salad is a fun way to serve pasta salad this summer. The flavors are fun and delicious, but a little more unassuming than your average pasta salad. I love any kind of asian flavors or influence, so I made a simple dressing - but if you want a shortcut - you can use a store bought sauce. Trader Joe's has a Soyaki sauce that is delicious and would be the perfect swap to make this even easier!
