Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 box (12oz - 16 oz) bow tie pasta cooked and drained (you can use med shell pasta in place of bow ties)
2/3 bottle Hormel bacon bits
10-12 ripe cherry tomatoes halved
3 c shredded lettuce "or" 1/2 head lettuce chopped small
1/4 c diced red onion
1 - 1 1/2 c Hidden Valley ranch dressing
salt / pepper to taste

1/2 c black olive slices (optional)
1/3 c shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. In large salad bowl add drained bow tie pasta and all ingredients except for lettuce. Mix and toss well. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Add lettuce to salad just before serving ( you can add it sooner but its better to wait just before serving time especially if you are using the shredded lettuce ... you be the judge.)
  • 2. Suggestion: You can use 1 cup Miracle whip w/3tbs sour cream in place of the Hidden Valley Ranch dressing. Optional: black olives slices Optional: shredded cheddar cheese garnish (approx 1/3 cup)

This pasta salad is the worst thing I have ever eaten. I would rather eat dirt.

This pasta salad was inedible. The dressing was way too salty, and the vegetables were all wilted. I had to throw the whole thing away.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pasta salad was a complete disaster. The pasta was overcooked, the vegetables were mushy, and the dressing was curdled. I will not be making this recipe again.

This pasta salad was a huge disappointment. The dressing was bland and watery, and the vegetables were limp and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pasta salad didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The dressing was too thin, and the vegetables were not as crisp as I would have liked. I think I will try a different recipe next time.

This pasta salad was just okay. The dressing was a bit too tangy for my taste, and the bacon was a bit too chewy. I probably won't be making this again.
