Ingredients:
1 16 ounce package fusilli or rotini pasta
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup milk
1 1 ounce package ranch dressing mix or homemade ranch dressing
1 cucumber quartered and thinly sliced
2 cups broccoli florets chopped
2 cups asparagus ends removed, and chopped
2 bell peppers chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
3/4 cup cheddar cheese sliced into matchsticks or grated
Instructions:
-Prepare pasta according to package.
-While waiting for the pasta to boil, prepare your cucumber, broccoli, red onion, asparagus, bell pepper, tomatoes and cheddar cheese. Set aside.
-To make the dressing, whisk together ranch mix, mayo and milk. Mix until all lumps are gone.
-Once pasta is done, drain and let cool for a couple minutes. Once cooled, mix in the sliced cucumber, chopped broccoli, chopped asparagus, chopped bell pepper, halved tomatoes and cheese.
-Next pour dressing over the pasta salad, and stir gently until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours before serving.
-Right before serving, give your Creamy Ranch Pasta Salad a couple more stirs to mix in any of the dressing that had settled at the bottom.
-Serve and enjoy!
