Farfalle comes from an Italian word meaning "butterfly," but we know (and love) this popular shape as bow tie.

  • 3 celery ribs, sliced
  • 1 cucumber, peeled, halved, seeded, and sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 (5-ounce) cans solid white tuna in olive oil, drained
  • 1 tablespoon drained capers
  • ¹/3 cup thinly sliced fresh basil

This is nice meal for warmer months. Too bad it wasn't easy to put it together and it also needs more salt and pepper in my opinion.
