How to Make Tomato Bow Tie Salad

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of bow tie pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. While the pasta cooks, prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup Italian dressing mix, 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/2 cup olive oil.
  3. Add 2 cups of chopped fresh tomatoes, 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese to the dressing.
  4. Gently fold the cooled pasta into the dressing and tomato mixture.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. The salad tastes even better the next day!
  6. Serve chilled and enjoy!
