A friend of mine showed me how to make this. It’s incredibly EASY and you’ll have so many people asking for the recipe! This is also a great pasta salad if you’re looking for something without mayo. Add or delete vegetables as you desire!

    I just didn't like the combo of Italian & Ranch dressings. It just wasn't for us.

    This might not have plain mayo but it does have Ranch dressing, which has mayo - or at least it should be made with mayonnaise. This would probably be better made with home made Ranch dressing but the bottled dressing just didn't taste very good in this pasta salad.
