Re: Another yummy looking pasta salad recipe.

 

This salad was our dinner tonight, and it was delicious. Thanks for posting it!

 

I'm sure you can make this recipe with bottled ranch, but I decided to make some ranch dressing with Hidden Valley Original Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Mix (that you add buttermilk and mayonnaise to). It makes a lot, so I used some of it for this recipe (adding the barbecue sauce) and saved the rest for later. 

 

The salad is adaptable. I added peeled and cubed cucumber and thinly sliced red onion. Avocado would be great, I think.

 

What makes this salad special is the "barbecued ranch dressing" component. It's really tasty. Next time, I think I'll add a dash or two of hot sauce to the dressing. For barbecue sauce, I used Sweet Baby Ray's.
