Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, add bowtie pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually about 8–10 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set it aside to cool completely.

In a large mixing bowl, combine your cooled bowtie pasta with sliced strawberries, halved red grapes, thinly sliced red onion, and fresh spinach leaves. Add drained mandarin oranges and crunchy pecans. Finally, crumble in the feta cheese.

Drizzle a generous amount of poppy seed dressing over the salad mixture and toss everything together until fully combined. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
