It’s official, I’m on a giant pasta salad kick. I love everything about pasta, hot or cold. But there’s something about a pasta salad that is easy and so delicious. It’s one of those things I can take for lunch and not have to worry if I’m going to have time to go find a microwave. I can sit at my desk and eat and work.
This pasta salad was delicious. I loved the BBQ Ranch flavor and the fresh cilantro and topped with Fritos? Amazing.
If you can’t find BBQ Ranch (Hidden Valley is the brand I used), just mix some of your favorite BBQ sauce with ranch dressing. I might do that the next time I make this. I love homemade ranch as opposed to the bottled dressing. Add in some of my favorite BBQ sauce and I’d eat the entire bowl.
I found this recipe on Spicy Southern Kitchen.
