Father's Day is this weekend. Do you have any plans? Maybe a BBQ with the family? Ya know, this pasta salad goes perfect alongside some grilled chicken or a burger and it can feed quite a few people! Just saying :)
My Dad gave me a Betty Crocker Healthy Cookbook and this recipe was inspired by a similar one in the book. Rather than using Mayonnaise, it calls for Light Ranch Dressing. I always buy Light Ranch Dressing. With the brand that I buy, I really can't tell the difference.
This pasta salad is delicious and I love that it is lighter than traditional pasta salad.
