CLUB PASTA SALAD



Club Pasta Salad image

This is my favorite pasta salad. Quick,easy and tasty. My family loves this. You need to use the ranch and bacon suddenly salad mix but the ingredient list made me list it as classic. Got this from Betty Crocker a long time ago but made modifications. You can change the meat and use cooked chicken. I have even used lunch meat chicken and turkey in a pinch.

Number Of Ingredients 14

 4 cups cooked rigatoni
 2 cooked and cubed chicken breasts or 2 cups of shredded chicken
 3 hard boiled eggs, chopped up
 8 crispy bacon strips, crumbled
 ½ cup mayo
 1 tbsp ranch dressing
 1 cup diced tomatoes
 ½ cup diced green onion

  • Don't overcrowd the salad: Make sure there is enough room for all of the ingredients to be evenly distributed.
  • Use a variety of textures: A combination of soft, crunchy, and chewy textures will make your salad more interesting.
  • Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or oregano, will brighten up the flavor of your salad.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to pasta salad. Try different combinations of ingredients and dressings until you find one that you love.
