• 3 cups uncooked tricolor spiral pasta
• broccoli florets, chopped
• red onion, sliced and chopped
• tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped or use cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 (8 oz.) bottle of ranch salad dressing (more as needed) (see below for a different dressing)
• 1/2 cup parmesan, shredded (or more)
• optional – add some bacon, cooked and crumbled

Cook pasta according to package directions, drain and rinse.  Combine the pasta with the prepared vegetables; drizzle with salad dressing and sprinkle with cheese; mix well.

Ranch Dressing:

This dressing is a little different but very good – I actually think this tastes better.

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup Caesar salad dressing
• 1/4 cup Ranch salad dressing
• 3 tbsp. sour cream
• 1 tbsp. dijon

Combine above ingredients and use instead of just the Ranch salad dressing.
