Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad Recipe Loring / All my dishes

Great for a party or potluck where everyone else is bringing a boring tossed or macaroni salad. Kids love the ranch, husbands love the bacon, moms love the veges.

Ingredients
  • 1 box pasta (I use tri-color rotini for color)
  • 1 bottle ranch dressing
  • 1 pkg bacon crumbles (Please don't use immitation bacon bits! Big chunks of bacon are best. If you make your own, blot it really well.)
  • 1 pkg cheese crumbles (or chop your own into small bits - not shredded)
  • 1 each red and green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • Options:
  • chopped marinated artichoke hearts
  • chopped green or black olives
  • corn
  • sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • fresh or dried dill
  • garlic
  • black pepper
  • use your imagination!

Directions
  1. Cook pasta al dente - not mushy! Remember that it soaks up a bit of dressing too. Drain, rinse, cool.
  2. Chop veges while pasta cooks.
  3. Mix all ingredients together to taste and appearance, except dressing.
  4. Add dressing a little at a time, then mix. Add more until desired creaminess.
  5. Chill until flavors are "well-aquainted".
  6. Add more dressing as needed - pasta will soak some up.
