In a large mixing bowl add Italian Dressing Mix (7.6 oz) to vinegar and water. Mix well with wire whisk or electric mixer at high speed. Continue mixing and slowly add oil. Mix at high speed for about 2 minutes, until well mixed.
In a transparent 20 oz cup with lid, layer the following items in order: 2 Tbsp Italian Dressing, 1/8 c chopped peppers, 1/4 c pasta, 1/8 c tomatoes, 2 oz chicken and 1 oz cheese. Spinach goes on top so dressing will not wilt it. Cover with lid.
When ready to eat, open lid and turn over onto a plate. Salad is completely prepared with lettuce on bottom and dressing on top.
