Step By Step

Ingredients (6)

1 cup Hidden Valley^® Original Ranch^® Light dressing
1 pound whole wheat pasta preferably corkscrew
10 ounces frozen peas thawed
2 large carrots peeled, coarsely grated

Steps (4)

Step 1
Cook the pasta in boiling water as directed on box for al dente, about 8 minutes.
Step 2
Drain and place the cooked pasta in a large bowl filled with ice water to stop the pasta from over cooking. Stir until pasta is cool then drain in a colander shaking to release as much water as possible.
Step 3
In a large bowl, mix pasta with Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Light Dressing and mix to coat. Add in the peas, carrots, and bacon. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Cook’s note: If making ahead of time, cover and refrigerated the salad until ready to serve, then add the bacon right before serving.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lori M from Wow! I cheated on this and used a package of frozen peas and carrots that I thawed out. So quick and delicious to put together!

Rated 5 out of 5 by DanzWMe from Level 10 Ran out of bacon so added bacon flavored spam. Oly moly was it good! It was a full meal by itself.
