Sun-Dried Tomato Bow Tie Salad image

A refreshing pasta salad that can also be the main dish. I created this salad once when I needed a potluck dish and was short on time, energy and wanted to use ingredients I had on hand. It was a big hit and the recipe was much requested.

Time 45m

Yield 1 large salad

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (16 ounce) package bow tie pasta
1/3 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1 (4 ounce) can sliced ripe olives
1 -2 cup cubed cooked chicken breast
Kraft sun-dried tomato salad dressing, 1 bottle
1/2 cup fresh parmesan cheese, finely shredded or grated
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cook pasta ala dente and drain.
  • Add remaining ingredients and stir gently.
  • Chill.
  • NOTE: I have also made this salad using diced pepperoni (about 1/2 cup) in place of the chicken.
  • If you use the full 2 cups of chicken it is a great main dish salad, or if you prefer you can omit meat altogether and have it as a side salad.
  • If your store carries two sizes of the bottled dressing, use the bigger size.
  • I don't have any on hand at the moment to check the ounces.
  • Sometimes I also add diced green pepper.
