Ingredients

Salad

  • 5 1/2 oz. (2 cups) uncooked bow tie pasta (farfalle)
  • 1 cup sliced zucchini
  • 1 cup sliced yellow summer squash
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup sliced radishes

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar or cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram or 3/4 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic in water (from 4.5-oz. jar)
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Steps

  • 1
    Cook pasta to desired doneness as directed on package. Drain; rinse with cold water to cool. Drain well.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, in small jar with tight-fitting lid, combine all dressing ingredients; shake well. Refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend flavors.
  • 3
    Just before serving, in large bowl, combine cooked pasta and all salad ingredients. Pour dressing over salad; toss gently to mix.

  • Zucchini and summer squash that are large in diameter should be halved or quartered lengthwise before being sliced.
  • Radishes will color other foods, so leave them out when preparing this recipe in advance. Cover the salad and refrigerate it for up to 2 hours. Just before serving, add the radishes.
  • Line a salad bowl or shallow platter with colorful greens such as kale or red leaf lettuce. Mound the salad atop the greens and garnish it with whole radishes with stems.
