Ramen Spinach Pasta Salad Supreme

"I gave this recipe 4 stars because we hated it the first time I made it. It was WAY too garlicy and salty plus the texture was mushy with bits of chicken and cashews. The second time I made it I read ..." See morethe reviews and made the according changes. I also added a few of my own changes as well... The biggest change was that I did NOT cook the noodles. I just crushed them in the bag and added to the salad raw. I also substituted sunflower seeds for the cashews. I added the chicken hot right out of the pan which wilted the spinach some. As for the dressing, I cut the garlic down to one clove and only used one flavor packet. I also added one teaspoon of red wine vinegar, one tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. We ate the dressing on the side...because of its intense flavor not everyone liked the same amount of dressing so some used less of it than others. With the changes I made, my hubby and I give it a 5 star rating."

"Excellent fast and tasty. I used less oil and less mayo still came out great!..." See more"

"I followed others' advice and only used one seasoning packet to cut salt. I also substituted feta for gorgonzola (personal preference) and water chestnuts for the cashews (to cut calories and I alrea..." See moredy had them on hand). Result = delicious and a great new way to use a college student staple!"
