Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 rotini pasta uncooked, 12 ounce package, tri-color
  • 10 lices Bacon
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons ranch salad dressing mix the same as a 1.0 oz package, dry
  • 1/2 /2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 /4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 /2 cup milk or as needed
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes sliced
  • 1 black olive sliced, 4.25 ounce can
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese diced or shredded

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain.
  2. Place bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook until evenly brown. Drain and chop.
  3. In a large bowl, mix mayonnaise, ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir in milk until smooth. Place rotini, tomato, black olives and cheese in bowl and toss to coat with dressing. Cover and chill at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. Stir in bacon right before serving so it stays crispy. Toss with additional milk if the salad seems a little dry right before serving.
