Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad Name: Anna Kirk Base: Barksdale AFB Recipe: 1 lb box of Tri-color Rotini 1 package of Ranch Dressing Mix (make sure its the one that is actual dressing) 2 c. Shredded Cheddar Cheese 1 c. Milk 1 c. Mayo (make sure it's real mayo not miracle whip) Real Bacon pieces (normally next to Bacos in the salad aisle) *optional addition would be olives. We hate olives so they are omitted from our recipe but you can add them in yours if you'd like* Boil water and cook pasta as directed on box. In a separate bowl take your Ranch Dressing mix, milk and mayonnaise. Mix together, add the bacon and set to side. Drain cooked pasta and when it's cool mix it together with your dressing. Then add the cheese and mix one more time.
