Bow Tie & Spinach Salad image

With pasta salad, it's easy to change up ingredients. We like to add grilled chicken and pine nuts, and sometimes we substitute black beans for the garbanzo beans. -Julie Kirkpatrick, Billings, Montana

This salad is a great way to use up leftover spinach. It's also a good way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

This salad was easy to make and very tasty. I used a store-bought dressing, but I think it would be even better with a homemade one.
