Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad
Ingredients
For the Pasta Salad
12 oz rotini or penne (pasta that holds dressing well)
2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded (rotisserie works great)
6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup cheddar cheese, cubed or shredded sharp cheddar
½ cup red onion, finely diced
1 cup cucumber, diced
2 green onions, sliced
Optional: 1 cup corn or a handful of chopped romaine for crunch

For the Ranch Dressing
¾ cup mayo
½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
½ cup buttermilk (or regular milk if needed)
1 packet ranch seasoning mix (1 oz) or 2 Tbsp homemade ranch seasoning
1 Tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp black pepper
Squeeze of lemon juice

How to Make It
Cook the pasta: Bring salted water to a boil and cook pasta 1 minute past al dente — soft enough to stay tender when cold. Drain, rinse with cold water, and let cool completely.
Mix the dressing: Whisk together mayo, sour cream, buttermilk, ranch seasoning, dill, garlic powder, pepper, and lemon juice. Taste — it should be a little extra salty/lemony; the pasta will mellow it out.
Combine and chill: Toss pasta, chicken, bacon, veggies, and cheese with the dressing. Chill before serving for best flavor.
