Bow Tie Salad

Boil some bow tie pasta according to package instructions.

Boil as much as you need based on the number of people you'll be feeding.

Pour it out into a colander and run cold water over it and let it drain.

When it's cool and drained pour pasta into a mixing bowl.

Chop up some ripe tomatoes, cucumbers and onion and add to the pasta.

Pour enough of your favorite Italian dressing over this to mix and coat it all very well.

Refrigerate until ready to use. You can eat it immediately if you want to but it's better if it has a chance to chill and absorb all the flavors. You control the amounts of everything you use. If you love cucumbers then use more of those than you do onions and tomatoes.

I've had this salad with cheese cubes added. It was good. I've also had it where someone drained and rinsed a can of kidney beans and added those to it. Also good. So have fun with this recipe and use your imagination. Everyone in my family loves this. Especially in the summer months.
