Creamy Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad Recipe

This Creamy Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad Recipe is just like a BLT sandwich however it has no bread in it. It’s a great recipe for anytime of the year. 

My Creamy Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad is made with fresh romaine lettuce, bacon, green onions, bowtie pasta, baby tomatoes and is tossed in a healthy ranch dressing.

I like to use fresh multi colored baby tomatoes in this salad, it gives it that extra special flavor.  Serve this as a side dish at any potluck or as the main course if you choose.

I highly recommend using multi colored baby tomatoes in this salad, it gives it that extra special flavor and looks so pretty.  Also be sure to look for a good quality bacon the less fat the better.

BEST RANCH SALAD DRESSING

Litehouse Homestyle Ranch, which can be found in the refrigerator section and is the only ranch dressing I will ever use. So good!

 

I like to make and enjoy my pasta salads all summer long and this one is up there on the list of my top 10 favorites. 

Nothing says summer to me more than a fresh salad made with baby tomatoes from either my garden.

Trust me everyone is going to LOVE IT!

BACON LETTUCE TOMATO PASTA SALAD

Looking for a cooling drink? Why not enjoy this salad along with some “Raspberry sweet tea“.

Go ahead and treat yourself you definitely deserve it. My Raspberry sweet tea is not made with any refined sugar, so go check it out it’s not only super healthy for you it’s also super delicious!

Feel free to add a pre-cooked shredded chicken breast to this salad along with the bacon if desired.

I sometimes will do that when serving this for dinner to guests, however if it’s just me and my partner then we like to have it just like this.

Easy Chicken Pasta Salad

Leave a comment

This Easy Chicken Pasta Salad  is made with Chicken, Baby tomatoes & Romaine Lettuce and can be enjoyed warm or cold  for dinner or lunch. 

With only 3 main ingredients it’s easy to make and super healthy.

Keep in mind that if your wanting to enjoy this salad at a later time, it’s best to add the romaine lettuce when your ready to eat it. Otherwise it will wilt if left in the fridge for some time.

Also feel free to add a few cheese cubes to this salad, white cheddar would work really well here. 

Tossed in a low calorie vinaigrette, you are sure make this Chicken, Tomato & Romaine Balsamic Pasta Salad time and time again.

Or if you have a favorite low calorie dressing go ahead and use that in replace of mine. But first off try mine, you may be surprised at how simple at tasty it is.

What can be easier than this salad? You will start by cooking the penne pasta till al dente then during that time you can season and cook the chicken breasts.

Shredding the chicken then throwing all together. This Salad goes well as a side dish or served as the main course.
