Curling Scallions

Did you curl dandelion stems as a child? If so, then curling scallions for your Farfalle Pasta Salad will feel very familiar! Fill a bowl with ice water. Cut the white stems off the scallions. Slice the scallion length-wise, making long, thin slices. Place into the ice water and watch as they curl up. Remove the curls from the bowl of water and place on a paper towel to dry.
