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.

Steps:
- Boil pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain.
- Combine dressing mix, vinegar, water and oil.
- Add tomatoes, scallions and cheese.
- Pour mix over cooled pasta.
- Chill at least 1 hour.
Tips:
- Use ripe, in-season tomatoes. This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your salad.
- Choose a variety of tomatoes. This will add color and flavor to your salad. Some good options include cherry tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, and Roma tomatoes.
- Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. This will make them easier to eat and will help them absorb the dressing.
- Use a light and flavorful dressing. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-herb dressing is a good option. You can also use a store-bought dressing, but be sure to choose one that is not too heavy or creamy.
- Add other ingredients to your salad. Some good options include fresh herbs, crumbled cheese, nuts, and seeds.
- Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the tomatoes from becoming watery.
