“This recipe is great.It is perfect for a picnic or potluck.It is not meant to be a main dish. I had a Packer Party with 9 guys and it was all gone, but we had enough to go around.I now make 4 cups of rotini noodles and a Large bottle of Ranch and it tastes great.This recipe is a huge hit.The guys wanted the recipe to give to their wives to make!”
“Bottled Ranch Dressing is LOADED with sodium – so I am going to post a recipe called “Italian Dressing – Low Sodium” that you ought to try instead of store-bought dressing.Also, how on earth do you squeeze TEN servings out of 2-3 CUPS OF PASTA????”
“This was Fantastic!You can lighten it up by using Fat Free Ranch dressing or Krafts Light Done Right.Also to the previous reviewer she DOEESNT SAY TWO THIRDS CUP OF PASTA SHE SAYS 2 TO 3 CUPS OF PASTA! Some people don’t pay attention too well I guess!Anyway thanks for the recipe nice easy salad for the summertime!”
“This is now one of our favorites!!! I omited the red onion, used green onions, and I don’t like green peppers, so those are gone too. I used the grape tomatoes cut in half and also added some shredded cheese and real bacon bits.YUMMM!”
“I used a 1 pound box of rotini which is about 6 cups dry and a 16 ounce bottle of the dressing when I made this salad.I’d like to try some chopped green olives in this next time.The taste was great and as for the over all appearance it was very appealing to the eye as well.”
“Very good!I only put half of the dressing on and then put it in the fridge until serving time when I added the other half of the dressing.That way the noodles didn’t absorb the dressing and there was still a taste factor when we ate it :)I added black olives since my family loves them and omitted the green pepper since I have a picky son.Very tasty and will definitely be made again this summer.”
“I made this recipe for a family get together and it was a big hit.Everyone was asking how I made it…they couldn’t believe it was so simple.I usually double the recipe.I use cherry tomatoes cut in half and add a bit more of “Salad Supreme””
“We loved this.Easy to make and beautiful made with tri-colored rotini.I added salt and freshly ground black pepper and a small can of sliced olives.This would also be delicious with baby shrimp tossed in.”
“I made this following the recipe exactly and took it to a pot luck.I used 3 cups of dry pasta and McCormick Perfect Pinch Salad Supreme for the salad seasoning.It was very yummy.I had one request for the recipe.I will definitely make this again.I might use a tad less dressing next time and perhaps vary the veggies but this is a definite keeper!”
“This was avery delicious pasta salad. I used the Hidden Valley Buttermilk Ranch Season packet in place of the bottled ranch as this is what I make and keep on hand in the ref. for dressing for salads that we have.The flavor of the cucumbers really sets the flavor nicely.Will be making this again! Thanks for sharing the recipe!”
“This was a very delicious pasta and veggie salad.Best that I’ve tasted in a while.Will be making this from now on.Thanks for posting.”
“Delicious! I ommitted the green pepper (because we didn’t have any on hand) and red onion (because of allergies). This will taste great with our venison burgers cooked on the grill tomorrow for Memorial Day Weekend”
“We really enjoyed this.It’s a very versatile recipe.You can add and subtract ingredients to suit your taste.I added shredded cheddar, real bacon bits and black olives.Thanks!”
“Tastes great and easy to make! Will be required at every family cookout from now on. Thanks for sharing!”
