A flavorful and creamy pasta salad with a zesty twist, perfect for gatherings or a delightful side dish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the creamy mayonnaise and zesty ranch seasoning until smooth.
For a lighter option, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
Cook the spiral pasta according to the package instructions, then drain and rinse with cold water.
Rinsing the pasta with cold water stops the cooking process and prevents sticking.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, crisp cucumber, and crispy bacon.
Ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed for consistent flavor in every bite.
Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss until well coated.
Add the dressing gradually to achieve your desired level of creaminess.
Gently fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
Adding the cheese last prevents it from clumping together.
Cover and refrigerate the pasta salad for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the pasta salad chilled and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for an extra touch of flavor.
