Better late then never right?! Sorry, but life got a little hectic this weekend with work & I wasn’t able to post this till just now!
I don’t know ’bout you guys, but I seriously just go to Ruby Tuesdays for their pasta salad at the salad bar! Everytime we go there Mr. H and I sit there trying to decipher the recipe, thankfully we now have Pinterest so I can recreate the pasta at home. I’m sure I could of googled it before and found it, but let’s be honest I’m way to lazy for that! This pasta salad is great for all the parties I’m sure everyone will be going to this summer because you can really add whatever you’d like to it!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound cooked rotini pasta
- 3/4 cup ranch dressing
- 3/4 mayo
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 8 ounces diced ham (I just got a fully cooked ham steak and cut that up)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Cook pasta & peas according to packaging
- Whisk together ranch, mayo and seasoning salt.
- Pour over rotini
- Slowly fold ham and peas
Side note: Mr. H went through my pinterest earlier in the week & picked Pink Lemonade Pie to be made this week for In the Kitchen, but unfortunately I had to work all weekend and forgot to pick up one of the ingredients I didn’t have so alas Pink Lemonade Pie will be brought to you next week!
I love pasta from Ruby Tuesdays! We’re so glad you linked up to our “Strut Your Stuff Saturday.” Thanks for coming and we hope you’ll be back. -The Sisters
Oh this sounds soooooooo good. I need to try this one. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
This sounds really good, but I was wondering, when you say Mayo, do you mean REAL mayo, or do you use Miracle Whip? Would Miracle Whip be ok?
I prefer real mayo, but miracle whip would work just as well!
The recipe calls for Ranch dressing. Is there a particular one that works best? I read on one site that they tried Hidden Valley (premade) and it was terrible.
I used hidden valley ranch premade as well as the powder version and both worked well for me. I have also used store brands and haven’t noticed a difference, I just use whatever we have in the fridge at the time!
