Greek Isles Pasta Salad


Here's a new recipe we tried last night. We both really liked it and will definitely make it again. If you don't already use whole wheat pasta, try it out with this dish! We can't really tell the difference, or maybe we're just used to it. We ate this as a side for burgers. Great served hot or cold.

What you need:
3 cups Farfalle (bow-tie pasta), uncooked (or use whatever you have in the pantry)
Chicken Broth (to cook noodles in - optional)
2 cups baby spinach leaves
1 cup feta cheese
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
3/4 cup ddrained canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed
1/2 cup Greek Vinaigrette Dressing (or another similar vinagar based dressing)
1/2 a package of Oscar Mayar Real Bacon Recipe Bits


What you need to do:
Cook pasta as directed (if using chicken broth, substitute at least half the water with broth). Drain. Place in large bowl. Add remaining ingredients; mix lightly. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
