Vegetable Bowtie Pasta Salad
Time: 25 minutes prep, 7 minutes cook
Directions
- After the pasta is cooked according to package directions, drain the water off using a colander.
- While the pasta is still in the colander, take another bowl (big enough for the colander to sit in) and place water and a few ice cubes in it.
- Now place the pasta filled colander in the ice water. This will stop the cooking process of the pasta.
- In a large bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, pickles, and remaining vegetables except the tomatoes.
- Mix well.
- Take the colander out of the ice water and let the water drain.
- Add pasta and tomatoes to the vegetable mixture.
- Mix lightly.
- Cover.
- Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
- Stir lightly before serving.

Summary
Growing up, my Mother fixed a pasta salad that was so awesome. Well, I did a makeover of that pasta salad with my own twist...by changing the pasta to bowtie pasta, using low-fat mayo and low-fat sour cream and adding more vegetables.
