Cook the pasta according to the package directions and drain it.  Immediately rinse the pasta under cold running water and drain it again.

In a large bowl, toss together the pasta, snow peas, summer squash, carrots and bok choy.

To make the dressing, combine the orange juice, honey, vinegar, sesame oil and salt in a small bowl and vigorously whisk the mmixture.  Slowly pour in the olive oil, whisking all the while.

Pour enough dressing over the pasta and vegetables to coat them lightly, then toss them again.  Just before serving top the salad with orange sections and a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds.  Serves 6 to 8.
