Notes
Pasta
- 12 ounces farfalle (bowtie) pasta – holds dressing perfectly
Dressing
- ¾ cup mayonnaise – gives a creamy, rich texture
- ½ cup milk – lightens the dressing
- 1 packet Artichoke & Spinach Warm Dip Mix (about 1 ounce) – infuses signature flavor
- 2 teaspoons Onion Onion™ Seasoning – adds depth
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt – enhances all flavors
Salad Mix-Ins
- 1 (14-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
💡 Substitution Tips:
- Swap mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
- Replace Parmesan with feta for a tangy twist.
- Try penne or rotini pasta instead of farfalle for texture variety.
