Pasta Salad

Ingredients

Pasta Salad

16 oz rotini noodles, cooked and drained

1 bottle of ranch dressing

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

tomatoes, chopped ( I like to use halved cherry tomatoes)

cucumber, sliced and chopped

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Cook the rotini noodles according to package directions. While the noodles are cooking, chop your veggies. Place the cucumbers and tomatoes into a bowl. I add about a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and season them with salt and pepper. Mix these together and let them sit and marinate in the vinegar and seasonings while the noodles are cooking. This is an optional step, you can just add it all in together if you prefer.

Once the noodles are done, drain and rinse them. Add the noodles to the bowl the veggies are in. Mix these together and then pour the ranch dressing on top. Mix the dressing in until you have the desired consistency you prefer. Place in the refrigerator to chill. Once this sits a while you will need to add more dressing as the noodles soak it up. Shredded cheddar cheese and bits of smokey bacon are a great addition.
