Ingredients
- 16 oz rotini pasta (or any short pasta)
- 8 slices bacon
- 2 cups grape tomatoes
- 2 cups romaine lettuce
- 1 cup deli turkey breast (cubed or shredded)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded or cubed)
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 stalks green onions (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cook the rotini pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside to cool completely.
Step 2
While the pasta cooks, cook the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Step 3
Halve the grape tomatoes and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Cube or shred the deli turkey breast if not already prepared.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled pasta, crumbled bacon, grape tomatoes, chopped romaine lettuce, deli turkey, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.
Step 5
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing, mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the pasta salad ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Toss everything together gently but thoroughly to ensure even coating.
Step 7
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve chilled and enjoy Kelly's BLT Club Pasta Salad as a main dish or side for your next meal!
