Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad
Summer and pasta salad just go hand in hand at my house, maybe they do at your house too. Pasta salad is quick, economical and delicious!
Not to mention versatile, there are a million varieties but today I’m sharing with you my favorite mayonnaise-based pasta salad. Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad is a dish I’ve been preparing for so many years.
Normally I prepare this salad using rotini shaped pasta, but you can use pretty much any shape you desire. There’s nothing complicated about this dish either, that’s the beauty of it.
Most ingredients you’ll probably have in your pantry or refrigerator and you just make, refrigerate and enjoy. Isn’t that the best during summer!
Everyone needs their go-to summer BBQ or Picnic recipes – and Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad is one of mine. To be honest?
It’s one of my go-to summer recipes end of story. I’m fine with just having this for dinner – but I mainly use it as a side dish…or a snack…or breakfast – I really love this pasta salad and you’re going to too!
Easy tasty dishes are the way I like to live in the summer. And nothing beats a cool pasta salad on a hot summer night right?

Sarah I’m delighted you enjoyed this salad, it is a family favorite at my house!
Great idea for pasta salad lovers!! I now have 4 different salads everyone loves. I mixed mayo and ranch (not powder) with garlic; no tomatoes or olives and had smoke provolone & sharp cheddar.
2 thumbs up. A serious winner
