Bow-tie Pasta Salad Ingredients Needed:
Bow-tie pasta, uncooked
Eggs
Cherry tomatoes
Radishes
Cucumber
Green onions
Green pepper
Shredded cheese (I use cheddar, can use what you like)
Fresh or frozen sweet peas, uncooked (can cook if you want)
Celery seeds
Salt
Dried or fresh basil
White granulated sugar
White vinegar
Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
You can always add more mayonnaise if you feel like you need it or like the salad more creamy. You can use any type of pasta you have on hand too. This is a great summer salad and goes great with burgers or grilled chicken. You could easily add shrimp, pepperoni, or ham to this salad too. Very versatile.
