This recipe appeared in our local paper. It seems a little different from the usual pasta salads. You can also add 3 or 4 grilled chopped chicken breasts to the salad for a main dish. Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) box bow tie pasta |
2 tomatoes, chopped into large chunks |
1 lb green beans, trimmed and snapped into pieces |
1 (1 ounce) package hidden valley ranch dressing mix |
3 tablespoons sunflower seeds, roasted and salted |
parsley or other fresh herb, minced |
olive oil |
Directions:
1. Cook bowtie pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water according to package directions. The last 3 to 5 minutes of cooking time, add the green beans. Drain in colander.
2. In large bowl combine pasta, green beans, tomatoes and chopped parsley and/or herbs. Fold in a few turns of olive oil. (Add more to taste.) Sprinkle in the Hidden Valley Ranch packet and sunflower seeds. Serve or refrigerate for later.
