OMG this is so good! I added some olives and it was bomb!
Yum!! This is my go-to side dish now! #PastaLover
So glad you love it! It’s a hit at my family gatherings too!
Ranch dressing? IDK, sounds gross. Can I use Italian instead?
I think it could use more veggies. Maybe some bell peppers?
Quick and easy! Will make again for sure. 🌟
Glad you loved it! It’s so refreshing for summer. 🌞
Looks easy enough, but isn’t ranch dressing sorta unhealthy? 🤔
Never thought pasta could taste good with ranch. Surprised!
Idk about the bacon bits. Can I skip them? 🤔
This salad is a hit at every potluck! So easy to make. My kids love it!
It was okay. Honestly, I was expecting more flavor from it. 😒
Yum!!! 😋 But bacon bits are not healthy… Maybe just use real bacon next time?
just pasta and ranch?? might be missing somethin. lol
Ranch in a pasta salad? Ugh. No thanks. Such a weird combo.
I was skeptical about mixing pasta with ranch dressing, but it actually works! Will make again!
Doesn’t taste good at all! I should’ve added more spices. This was bland.
So easy to make! I just tossed in whatever veggies I had. 😊
This is my go-to potluck dish! Everyone loves it!
