One cup of pasta salad with bowtie noodles is a versatile and flavorful dish often associated with Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. This salad typically features bowtie-shaped pasta (farfalle) tossed with a variety of ingredients like chopped vegetables (bell peppers, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes), fresh herbs, and sometimes proteins such as chicken, tuna, or mozzarella. It's commonly dressed with zesty vinaigrettes or creamy sauces, depending on the recipe. Bowtie pasta provides a source of carbohydrates for energy, while the vegetables add fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. The choice of dressing and protein can affect its nutritional profile—vinaigrettes tend to be lighter, while creamy dressings may increase calorie and fat content. Watch portion sizes and ingredients to keep it balanced. Pasta salad is a satisfying and customizable option ideal for picnics, quick meals, or potlucks, blending taste with nutrition when prepared thoughtfully.
