Chicken or Turkey Pasta Salad

Dressing:

1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup rice vinegar
3 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup light olive oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Pasta Salad:

1 box (1 lb) dry pasta (any shape)
3 cups shredded chicken or turkey
2 large cucumbers, seeded and thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 cup chopped scallion
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
Instructions:

1. Whisk all of the dressing ingredients together and set aside. (I usually do this the night before just to get it out of the way.)
2. Cook pasta as instructed on the box. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
3. Toss together pasta, chicken or turkey (is using), cucumber, cilantro, scallion, and sesame seeds. Dress and toss. Serve immediately.

*If you are making it ahead of time or packing to bring, it can all be done a day ahead. Just don’t combine them until you’re ready to serve it.
