This would make a great summer meal if accompanied by a chilled salad or thin-sliced cucumbers and radishes in vinaigrette.

Ingredients

1/2 pound Farfalle, cooked according to package directions, rinsed under cold water, tossed with 1/2 tsp vegetable oil, then chilled
1/2 pound Cooked large shrimp, shelled and split in half lengthwise
1/3 cup Chopped red onion
1/3 cup Light mayonnaise
1 Ripe but firm large tomato, seeded, cut into 1/3 inch dice
3 tbsp Drained capers
3 tbsp Snipped fresh dill
2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
2-5 tbsp Vegetable broth
1/4 tsp Salt
 Freshly ground pepper
 Red leaf lettuce, washed, chilled

Preparation

1. put chilled farfalle in large mixing bowl.

2. in another bowl, combine shrimp, red onion, mayonnaise, tomato, capers, dill, lemon juice, 2 tbsp vegetable broth, 1/4 tsp salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.

3. Add mixture to farfalle. Toss until well mixed. Add remaining broth as needed, so pasta has desired consistency (farfalle should be separate, not sticking together, and there should be no excess liquid). Adjust seasoning.

4. Serve chilled, mounded on lettuce leaves.

Cook's Notes

Good for a special lunch with old friends.
