Make the dressing by combining all ingredients and whisking until smooth. You could use a blender to get it really smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 2

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water.

Step 3

Place the cooled, drained pasta in a large bowl.

Step 4

Add 1/4 cup of the dressing to the pasta and toss to combine.

Step 5

Add in the chicken, spinach, mandarin oranges, craisins, green onion, parmesan cheese and toasted almonds.

Step 6

Drizzle dressing over the top (to taste, you may not want to use it all), and toss everything to combine. Serve immediately.
