Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the tri-color rotini pasta and cook for about 8 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, dry ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, and milk. Whisk until fully blended and creamy.
- Add the cooled tri-color rotini pasta to the dressing. Incorporate the chopped bacon, diced tomato, sliced black olives, and shredded cheddar cheese. Gently toss until coated.
- Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
- Before serving, stir the chilled pasta salad gently. If dry, add a splash of milk to reach desired creaminess.
