   1      bunch         cilantro
   1      can           water chestnuts -- dressing-
   2      cups          mayonnaise
     3/4  cup           soy sauce
   1      tablespoon    Szechuan hot oil -- or to taste
     1/4  cup           sesame oil
   1      tablespoon    Dijon mustard
   2                    garlic cloves -- or more
 

Preparation:

Cook pasta until Al Dente. Dice turkey, bell pepper and peeled carrots. Drain and slice water chestnuts. Remove stems from cilantro and use leaves only, saving a few leaves as garnish. Chop green onions. Slice mini corn cobs. Slice snow peas on diagonal into thin strips. Toast sesame seeds and reserve 1 TBS for garnish. Toss all ingredients together. Dressing: Combine all ingredients in food processor and process until well-blended. Add to salad and toss. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and cilantro. NOTE: I double the turkey, snow peas and corn cobs in this recipe. The dressing is also wonderful for turkey or chicken salad with jicama, red pepper, and green onions.
