Ranch Pasta Salad

Ranch pasta salad is an easy and delicious aspect dish for summer time picnics and bbq’s. handiest 6 elements and mins to prepare. gentle pasta, cucumber, broccoli, tomatoes, and parmesan cheese covered in ranch dressing. So easy!

i've been making this ranch pasta salad for years! as a minimum for as long as I’ve been married that allows you to be 10 years in October. That’s a decade human beings?! Now, I experience actually vintage….. i found this in a taste of domestic mag and in all of the years of making it, we never get uninterested in it.

It actually takes mins to make and you could eat it proper away or put it within the fridge for an hour or so before you need it. I select serving it right away because pasta salads generally tend to get dry and absorb all the dressing as they sit in the refrigerator.

Ingredients :

• 1 box (12 oz) tricolor rotini pasta
• 1 cup chopped broccoli
• 1 cup chopped cucumbers (peeled & seeded)
• 1 cup chopped tomatoes
• 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
• 1 1/4 cups ranch dressing (more or less to taste)

Instructions :

1. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Remember to salt the pasta water so the noodles have some flavor. I use about 2 teaspoons salt. Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water so pasta can cool. 
2. In a mixing bowl combine the cooled pasta, broccoli, cucumber, tomatoes, parmesan cheese, and ranch dressing. Stir together until well combined. 
3. Serve right away or let it refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving. Pasta salad tends to dry out in the fridge so don't leave it in there too long before serving. If needed, add some additional dressing and give it a good stir to moisten it back up.
