Ingredients

  • 1 pound elbow macaroni pasta
  • 1 cup medium diced or shredded carrots
  • ½ cup celery finely chopped
  • ¼ red onion diced
  • cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup ham cubed
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese cubed
  • 1 packets ranch seasoning mix
  • cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup milk

Instructions

  • Prepare pasta according to package. While waiting for the pasta to boil, gather your carrots, celery, red onion, frozen peas, ham and cheddar cheese. Set aside
  • To make the dressing, whisk together ranch mix, mayo and milk. Mix until all lumps are gone.
  • Once pasta is done, drain and let cool for a couple minutes. Once cooled, mix in carrots, celery, red onion, frozen peas, ham and cheddar cheese.
  • Next pour dressing over the pasta salad, and stir gently until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours before serving.
  • Right before serving, give your Creamy Ranch Pasta Salad a couple more stirs to mix in any of the dressing that had settled at the bottom.
