Time 25m

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 12-oz. package bacon
1 16-oz. box fusilli or curly pasta
1 c. mayonnaise
3/4 c. whole milk
1 1-oz. packet ranch seasoning mix
Juice of one lemon
1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
2 c. thinly sliced romaine lettuce
1/2 c. chopped red onion
1/4 c. chopped fresh herbs, such as dill and/or parsley

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning as needed, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is golden and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. (You may need to cook the bacon in two batches, draining the rendered fat from the skillet between batches.) Let the bacon cool to room temperature, then crumble up into bite-sized pieces.
  • Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, milk, ranch seasoning, lemon juice, parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Add the pasta, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, herbs and half of the crumbled bacon to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold together to coat. Top with remaining bacon and serve.

This is an easy but flavorful pasta salad that I'm always asked to bring to potlucks. With chunks of onion, tomato, and bacon, smothered in Ranch dressing, it is full of flavor! This salad tastes best if made several hours ahead of time.

Time 3h25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (16 ounce) package medium seashell pasta
1 pound sliced bacon
1 ½ cups light Ranch-style salad dressing
1 small onion, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water to cool.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crisp. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the Ranch dressing, onion, and tomatoes. Mix in the cooled pasta. The pasta will absorb some of the dressing, so don't worry if it seems like too much. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Crumble bacon over the top just before serving.
