Tasty Tuesday: Broccoli and Bow-Tie Pasta Salad Recipe

Broccoli and Bow-Tie Pasta Salad Recipe

Broccoli and bow tie pasta salad

Here’s another tasty summer salad to try  – Broccoli and Bow Tie Pasta Salad.  Really, beyond this season, I think this might be one my kids will enjoy, so I may be able to add this to my back-to-school favorites as well.  Remember a few weeks ago when I talked about the salt curing technique?  For this pasta salad recipe, the addition of salt-cured lemons to this recipe really brings it to life. Although you should be totally fine with regular lemons, the briny cured lemons tend to season the dish with pretty intense flavoring.

Brocolli and Bow-Tie Pasta Salad
Ingredients
Salad
  • 1 cup Farfalle Bow-Tie Pasta, cooked according to package directions
  • 1 head broccoli florets only
  • 1 red bell pepper core removed and cut into thin slices
  • 1 yellow bell pepper core removed and cut into thin slices
  • 4 sliced preserved salt-cured lemon, finely chopped including rinds
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries [optional]
Dressing
  • 1 cup traditional Greek yogurt full fat
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 2 T. high-quality extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 T. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 T. fresh lemon zest
  • salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. In a glass bowl, combine yogurt, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and zest with a fork or whisk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Place broccoli florets into a microwave safe bowl with 1 T. water, cover and microwave until slightly tender, about 4 or 5 minutes. Microwave times vary, so check after 3 minutes and adjust time accordingly. Set aside to cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta, steamed broccoli, red and yellow pepper, cured lemon and cranberries. Toss to mix well. Add some yogurt dressing and toss again until thoroughly combined and serve.
Tip: You can make this recipe a day or two ahead and store in the refrigerator, so it’s perfect for taking to summer gatherings, potlucks, lunches, etc. Enjoy!

    Whenever I see a pasta salad recipe that uses bow tie pasta it makes me happy. There is just something about the shape that makes the salad taste better.

    Pasta Salads are the perfect lunch during the summer! It takes minimal effort to prepare and it doesn’t let you use a lot of heat in the kitchen!

    That looks very good. I love having pasta, and so does my family. My oldest daughter really loves noodles, so I know she’d love this.

    Yum! I’d love to start making this in small portions just for me. The guys always want to make meat dishes but I’m not too into them.

    I always add broccoli in almost everything since they are rich in Iron and extremely healthy vegetation. This recipe is so cool.

    Looks delicious and easy to prepare, good for my usual 10 minute free time before dinner. I’ve always wanted to have an excuse to use Farfalle instead of my usual Fusilli or Macaroni.

    I make the same type of pasta but with Alfredo sauce. This would be a great alternative for those hot summer days.

    This looks like something easy that I could whip up in our house. We don’t cook but for two and so this would be perfect.
