Ingredients

  • 12 oz tri color rotini pasta
  • 1 red bell pepper finely diced
  • 1 medium cucumber chopped
  • 1 ½ cups broccoli florets finely diced

For the ranch salad dressing

  • 8 oz sour cream
  • ½ cup mayo
  • 1 oz packet ranch seasoning

Instructions

  • Salt the pasta water and cook the tri color rotini according to the package instructions for al dente. Once it is done, drain immediately and rinse with cold water.
  • Add the bell pepper, cucumber, broccoli, and rotini to a large serving bowl
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayo, sour cream, and ranch seasoning to make the creamy ranch dressing
  • Stir the ranch dressing into the pasta and veggies until combined. Salt to taste, if necessary
  • Refrigerate for no more than 1-2 hours before serving
  • Store leftovers covered in the fridge and enjoy within 3-4 days.

Notes

Most pasta salad will dry out some in the fridge, so if this happens I suggest stirring in a little bottled ranch before serving your leftovers
