Macaroni Monday; Ranch BLT

Pasta and bacon, I meannnn...


Ranch BLT Macaroni Salad
1 box pasta, cooked and drained (we like to use the curly pasta for this one)
1/2 cup lite mayo
1/2 lite sour cream
1 1/2 cup grape tomatos, cut in half with juices
3-4 tablespoons ranch dressing packet
2 tablespoons fresh or dried thyme, minced 
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
6-8 slices of cooked bacon
2 cups thin-sliced or chopped spinach 


  • In a large bowl mix mayo, sour cream, grape tomatoes, ranch dressing packet, thyme, salt and pepper for the dressing.
  • Add cooked pasta to the dressing.
  • Mix together cover and chill.
  • Before serving add the bacon and spinach.


Okay, so it really should be called Ranch B-S-T...but who cares what you call it when it tastes this good?!?!?
Enjoy!

    And..... while my girls might be into making flowers, my boys are definitely into bacon! When my fat butt shrinks in size I'm gonna give this a whirl.
