Another yummy looking pasta salad recipe.

I came across this recipe I had pinned a while back. I haven't made it yet, but I plan to try it soon. I thought it was share-worthy.

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain. Then rinse pasta under cold water.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, tomato, bacon and pasta.
  3. Drizzle the ranch dressing and barbecue sauce over the top. Gently toss to coat evenly. Season with pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy!

I like recipes like this in the summer.  This one looks good. I would add some grilled chicken and use it for a meal.   Thanks for posting it.

@house_cat 

I have a similar BLT pasta salad recipe in my collection that calls for chopped baby spinach instead of romaine,  and a dressing concoction of mayo, sour cream, vinegar. 

 

But yours is a really nice cut above that one, because of the ranch dressing and bowtie pasta instead of other types.

 

I love ranch dressing and think it can cure just about anything. LOL!!I

 

I've printed and saved yours for definite use.

I love salads like this. When my kids were growing up I made somthing similar with chopped chicken breast marinated in Italian dressing added to it. No ranch or bbq sauce. I'll have to try this. Thank you.
