Pasta salad. The bowl of glorious ingredients that graces every summer picnic table from here to the southern hemisphere. We all make it and we all love it. However, I found that making  the same pasta salad over and over again using the same monotonous ingredients can get a tad, dare I say, “boring.”

 

So, on my wild goose chase for the perfect pasta salad, I came across this recipe for BLT ranch pasta salad. Now, I don’t know about you, but I love me some BLT sandwiches, and I also love ranch dressing. So, as you can probably imagine, this pasta salad recipe was a major hit with me. I anticipate that it’ll be a major hit with you as well.

Quick Tip: Use your favorite dry Ranch dressing mixes such as Hidden Valley Ranch or Kraft. I sometimes mix up my own using herbs and my blender.

If you are hosting a dinner, this antipasto recipe will surely be a hit! Whether you would have old friends or new colleagues at home, there is no better way to catch up and mingle than to share a delicious meal. An antipasto or Italian appetizer usually has meats, anchovies, olives and cheeses, but your choices are endless.

This recipe is a great choice if your circle of friends or visitors love to occasionally drink wine.

 According to The Mediterranean Dish author Suzy, “You could change things up and use any number of ingredients that you like. For example, you can replace the prosciutto with salami or ham; and instead of fresh mozzarella, you can use any mild cubed cheese that you like. Simple!”
