Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups uncooked shell pasta
4 -5 peeled baby carrots, shredded or 1 large regular carrot
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
3/4 cup mayonnaise, more if desired (but NOT miracle whip)
0.5 (1 ounce) packet hidden valley ranch dressing mix

Steps:

  • In large bowl, mix mayo, dressing mix, bacon bits, shredded carrots and onion powder. Chill while making the rest.
  • Cook pasta according to pkg. directions for pasta using the shortest alotted time. (Or cook al dente.).
  • Drain and cool.
  • Fold in pasta well. Fold in peas last, carefully.
  • Chill for several hours.
  • Serve chilled or room temperature.
  • Refresh salad if needed with a tiny bit of mayo, but it usually doesn't need it.
  • Garnish top with more bacon bits/pieces.
