BACON RANCH BROCCOLI PASTA SALAD RECIPES

Steps:

• 1.

  Heat a large stockpot of lightly salted water over high heat. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Run cold water over cooked pasta until chilled. Place drained pasta in a large bowl.

• 2.

  While pasta is cooking, preheat a charcoal or gas grill on medium-high heat. Brush corn with olive oil and grill for 5 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally until charred. Remove from heat. When cool enough to handle, cut kernels off the cob.

• 3.

  Toss pasta with charred corn, broccoli, shredded carrot, shredded Cheddar cheese, celery, green onions, and ranch dressing until well combined. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.

• 4.

  Just before serving, stir in crisp-cooked bacon. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Boil your pasta according to package instructions. You want the pasta to be al dente so it's not overcooked.
• While your pasta is boiling, gather all your other ingredients.
• In a medium bowl, mix up your Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning, Salad Dressing & Recipe Mix Packet with the mayo, sour cream, milk and garlic powder and set aside.
• Place all other ingredients in a large bowl.
• Once your pasta is finished, rinse under a cool stream of water until all the pasta is cool.
• Place the pasta in with the other ingredients, add the dressing and toss until well-coated.
• Chill or serve right away.
