❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love the combination of the delicious vegetables and the dressing with this salad. Then you add in the bowtie pasta and it’s a hit. If you look at the ingredient list, you may think this takes a lot of time; chopping the vegetables is the most time-consuming part. You can also make this salad you own, its super versatile, if you see an ingredient you don’t like, simply leave it out.

🍽️HOW TO MAKE

The hardest part of this salad is chopping up all the vegetables, so once that is done and you have made the pasta, you are set!

Step 2
