DIRECTIONS

1.

FOR PASTA SALAD

  • For vegetables: Rinse the tomatoes under clean, cold, running water, then drain them thoroughly. Slice the grape tomatoes in half. If broccoli has not been prewashed, rinse it under clean, cold, running water, then drain it thoroughly. If needed, cut florets into bitesize pieces. Cover the vegetables with plastic wrap and refrigerate them until time for assembly.
  • For the pasta: Heat the water to a rolling boil. Slowly add the pasta to the boiling water. Cook the pasta for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta well in a colander. Rinse the pasta in a colander under cold, running water. Place the pasta in a large bowl.

Pasta amounts are based on USDA Food Buying Guide. Overcooking or hot holding pasta for long periods of time will increase the volume and the yield. Pasta may also be cooked in a
steamer or combi oven. Different steamers and combi ovens vary in time and settings, so check with the manufacturer for correct instructions.

  • Toss the vegetables gently with cooled pasta. Combine the salt, Italian Spice Blend, ranch dressing mix, buttermilk, and mayonnaise. Mix well to combine. Pour the ranch dressing mix over the pasta and vegetables. Stir well to combine.

  • Cover the salad and cool it in the refrigerator overnight.

  • Toss the salad before portioning.
