Bow Tie Pasta Salad

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) package bow-tie pasta (farfalle)
• 1 (12 ounce) bag broccoli florets
• 1 (10 ounce) basket cherry or grape tomatoes
• 1 bunch green onions, sliced
• 0.5 cup chopped celery
• 0.5 red bell pepper, chopped
• 0.5 green bell pepper, chopped
• 2 cups creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip®)
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Steps

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook bow tie pasta at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain. Quickly rinse the cooked pasta in cold water to stop it from continuing to cook; drain.
3. Mix cooled pasta, broccoli, tomatoes, sliced green onions, celery, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper in a large bowl.
4. Gently stir salad dressing and Parmesan cheese together in a bowl until evenly mixed; season to taste with sugar, basil, and salt.
5. Pour salad dressing mixture over pasta mixture; gently toss to coat evenly.
6. For best results, chill salad in refrigerator before serving to allow flavors to blend.
