SUN-DRIED TOMATO BOW TIE SALAD
A refreshing pasta salad that can also be the main dish. I created this salad once when I needed a potluck dish and was short on time, energy and wanted to use ingredients I had on hand. It was a big hit and the recipe was much requested.

Steps:
- Cook pasta ala dente and drain.
- Add remaining ingredients and stir gently.
- Chill.
- NOTE: I have also made this salad using diced pepperoni (about 1/2 cup) in place of the chicken.
- If you use the full 2 cups of chicken it is a great main dish salad, or if you prefer you can omit meat altogether and have it as a side salad.
- If your store carries two sizes of the bottled dressing, use the bigger size.
- I don't have any on hand at the moment to check the ounces.
- Sometimes I also add diced green pepper.
PASTA WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES
Steps:
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water with a splash of oil to keep it from sticking together. Boil for 12 minutes, or according to the directions on the package. Drain well and allow to cool. Place the pasta in a bowl and add the tomatoes, olives, mozzarella, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
- For the dressing, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, capers, salt, and pepper in a food processor until almost smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the pasta, sprinkle with the Parmesan and basil, and toss well.
SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND BOW TIE PASTA
"Anti-meat pasta dish, which makes your tastebuds feel alive with the great combined flavors of sun dried tomatoes, olive oil, red pepper and pesto sauce. My husband and I came up with this recipe about two years ago playing around in the kitchen one day. Ever since then it has been our family's favorite. Garnish each dish with red pepper or Parmesan cheese to your taste. Instead of making your own pesto you can use 1/2 bottle of pre-made pesto from the grocery store."

Steps:
- Cook pasta according to directions on package. Be sure to just cook to al dente stage. Drain and return to pot. Place pot on burner but turn off burner.
- Stir in oil.
- Stir in remaining ingredients and mix well.
- **I have also added broccoli to pasta water while cooking pasta and this is very good too.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, ripe tomatoes, flavorful herbs, and a good quality olive oil will make a big difference in the taste of your salad.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the tomatoes. If you do, they will steam instead of roasting and won't develop the same concentrated flavor.
- Roast the tomatoes until they are slightly caramelized and wrinkled. This will give them a delicious smoky flavor.
- Use a variety of colors of tomatoes for a more visually appealing salad.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of pasta. Bow tie pasta is a classic choice, but you could also use penne, fusilli, or rotini.
- Add some protein to your salad for a more complete meal. Grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu would all be great options.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. It's delicious either way!
Conclusion:
Sun-dried tomato bow tie salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's a great way to use up fresh tomatoes. So next time you're looking for a quick and healthy meal, give this salad a try!
