Ranch BLT Pasta Salad – It’s like a BLT mixed with cold pasta and ranch dressing. Ranch BLT Pasta Salad recipe

This Ranch BLT Pasta Salad is one of the easiest pasta salads you can make.  It’s crumbled bacon, chopped lettuce, cherry tomatoes, & cooked pasta coated in ranch dressing.

The hardest part is cooking and crumbling the bacon without eating it all before it hits your salad.  Of course, you could always buy the pre-cooked & pre-crumbled bacon pieces, if you want.  I stay away from that stuff, though.  It freaks me out. Ranch BLT Pasta Salad recipe
