Blushing Pink Bowtie Salad
Ingredients
- Ingredients:
- 8 ounce mini-bowtie pasta
- 6-8 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled (I used turkey bacon)
- baby spinach leaves - stems removed, washed, and torn
- romaine lettuce, cleaned and cut in bite size pieces
- mozzarella cheese (julienne into 1-inch strips)
- Fresh strawberries, cut into bite-size chunks
- Ingredients for Dressing:
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
- 1-2 tablespoons sweet onion (Vidalia or Maui)
- 1 cup canola oil
- 1 to 1-1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds
Directions
- Directions:
- 1. Boil pasta as directed. Rinse under cold water and set aside.
- 2. Prepare lettuce. Fry bacon until crisp, drain and crumble.
- 3. Clean and cut strawberries, then set them on a paper towel to drain.
- 4. Julienne mozzarella cheese.
- 5. Combine dressing ingredients (except poppy seeds) in blender jar. Give it enough time to completely pulverize the onion and turn a pretty pink color. Remove to a separate container. Add poppy seed just before serving, stirring well.
- 6. Combine lettuce, spinach, and pasta, tossing until combined. Add just enough dressing to coat. Add strawberries, bacon and mozzarella last, stirring carefully to prevent breaking them apart.
- 7. Serve with additional dressing on the side. Store remains in the refrigerator.
