Asian Bowtie Salad

Yes, another Asian recipe. You know what? The thing is that Asian ingredients really lend themselves well to the Swank diet. I also love all the flavors. Here there is a little twist though. I added Mayo into the mix because it gives it a little creaminess and really coats the pasta well. I use regular mayo, but you can use Vegan mayo or light mayo, whatever your preference. You can also swap the veggies for what you'd like or have hiding in your fridge.
