I like to make the salad the day before so it's very cold and ready to serve. If you find your salad is a bit dry and has soaked up the dressing you can add more olive oil and stir it into the salad.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does bow tie pasta have gluten?

If you buy regular wheat pasta it will contain gluten. For this recipe I used Jovial Gluten Free Farfalle (farfalle is also known as bow tie pasta). Their gluten free pasta is made from brown rice and is certified to be gluten free.

Is farfalle the same as bow tie pasta?

Yes. In Italian farfalle means butterflies. We tend to call farfalle pasta bow tie pasta in the United States because of its shape.
