Kosher salt
6 ounces bowtie pasta

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Freshly ground pepper
2 bell peppers (red and yellow), halved lengthwise and seeded

  • 4. Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar, mustard in a large bowl, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil until smooth. Add the tomatoes with accumulated juices, the roasted peppers, and parsley and toss lightly. Just before serving, add the chicken and pasta and toss gently until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.

TORTELLINI & BOW TIE PASTA SALAD



Tortellini & Bow Tie Pasta Salad image

This is the best tasting Italian Style Pasta salad I have ever eaten. I received this recipe from a caterer at our church Cyndy Totten, who gave me permission to post her recipes. Cooking time is cooling time in the refrigerator.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces cooked multi-colored cheese tortellini

  • Drain completely and set aside.
  • In a large salad bowl, toss together the Salad Pastas and Vegetables.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your pasta salad. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and tender bow-tie pasta.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and texture in the salad.
  • Let the pasta cool before adding the other ingredients: This will help prevent the pasta from absorbing too much dressing and becoming soggy.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: You don't want to overpower the other flavors in the salad. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more to taste.
  • Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme, can add a lot of flavor to pasta salad. Stir them in just before serving.
  • Serve the pasta salad immediately: Pasta salad is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

Bow-tie pepperoni pasta salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and summer gatherings. With its combination of fresh vegetables, flavorful pepperoni, and tangy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy summer dish, give bow-tie pepperoni pasta salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
