Bow-tie (also known as farfalle) pasta is a favorite among kids and adults alike, with its whimsical shape that is meant to resemble a butterfly (since farfalle means "butterfly" in Italian). In this recipe, the pasta is tossed with seared salmon (cooked while the pasta is boiling), tender Boston lettuce, diced beet, and orange segments (a winning combination if ever there was one) and then served with a homemade basil mayonnaise that's quickly and easily whisked together with a hand blender.
