Spicy Asian Noodle Salad

Ingredients

1 pound linguine

8 ounces cooked chicken, diced into small pieces

4 green onions (scallions) thinly sliced

3 ounces peppers, yellow, orange or red, cut into very thin strip

3 ounces carrots, grated (or about 4 Trader Joe's prepackaged shredded carrots)

4 tablespoons sesame seeds

Preparation

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the linguine according to package directions. When pasta is al dente strain and set aside. In the pasta pot, put the dressing/peanut sauce, and combine all of the other ingredients. Pour the pasta back into the pot, and stir thoroughly until all of the ingredients are mixed together consistently. That is it! What could be simpler? Now all you need to do is put the pasta salad in a large bowl, cover, and refrigerate at least a few hours before serving. It is even tastier if you let it sit overnight. Enjoy!!
