Helpful Tips to make Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad:
- Make it ahead of time! This pasta salad tastes best after sitting in the fridge overnight. It really allows the flavors to meddle well, and is also a great way to grab and go with it when you need it!
- Add a sprinkle of salt to the water when cooking your pasta to give it a little more flavor!
- Bleu cheese would be a great substitute for the cheddar cheese in this chicken bacon ranch pasta salad.
- Cook your bacon in the oven to keep your stove top clean of all those splatters and to get it perfectly crispy.
- Use leftover rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own chicken to save yourself some dishes, and some time!
What you will need to make Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad:
- Chef’s knife and a good cutting board- These makes cutting up your chicken, tomatoes, cheese, green onions, etc, so much quicker and easier!
- Strainer- You can't make pasta without a good strainer. Use it to drain the water from your pasta before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- Mixing bowl with a lid- Since this pasta salad is best if made in advanced, store it a way in your fridge with a bowl and lid combo that keeps it tightly fastened and perfect for traveling to your party.
Enjoy!
With love from our simple kitchen to yours.
