Gingered Spaghetti Salad

 I found this in the June/July 2023 issue of Taste of Home magazine.  I am going to make this for some work lunches.

1 16oz. pkg of whole wheat spaghetti, I would break them into halves or even thirds

1 C. frozen shelled edamame 

1 tsp. minced fresh ginger root 

1 C. Fat free sesame ginger salad dressing 

3 C. cooked chicken breast; rotisserie chicken would work well here

1 English cucumber, chopped 

1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped 

1 small sweet yellow pepper, chopped

1 small red onion, finely chopped 

3 green onions, sliced

Cook spaghetti according to the package directions, adding edamame during the last 5 minutes of cooking.  Rinse mixture in cold water, then drain well.  Meanwhile, stir ginger into salad dressing.

In a large bowl, combine spaghetti, chicken, cucumber, peppers, and red onion.  Toss to coat. Sprinkle with green onions.
