My Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad, is the best pasta salad side dish! Small shells or Rotini noodles, cucumber, tomato, parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese with an easy dressing of ranch. Trust me it's delicious. I make a lot of this and everyone absolutely devours it!

😋 oh so good😉One of my favorite summer pasta salads. I was out of bow tie pasta any pasta will work , use what you have. This does not keep for the next day the bacon gets soggy... (there’s usually none left ) if your taking it somewhere wait to dress it... right before severing.https://youtu.be/8BtAx4UOWGM

I used to keep the grocery store in business buying Suddenly Salad pasta when I was in college (before cooking became enjoyable for me). Finally realized this is much tastier to make myself.*Recipe courtesy of CopyKat Recipes( http://www.copykat.com)

This salad can be served right away, no need to wait for the flavors to develop.This salad will keep for about 3 days if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.I simply used left over chicken breast from dinner the night before, simply seasoned with salt and pepper, but this could be made with left over BBQ chicken or even a rotisserie chicken.This makes a very large bowl of pasta salad, perfect for a pot luck or family gathering. It would be easy to scale the recipe down for smaller meals.

My summer time favorite. Light cool and crisp.

My hubby has always loved pasta salad, but with having a wheat allergy, buying store bought is out of the question. This recipe is as yummy as it is easy!

Its a great way to have a light and filling dinner

I made it homemade for a famliy party.

Copycat but made it my version
