you guys, i LOVE pasta salad!!! i could eat it for every meal. it’s my favorite part of summer. i feel like it’s typically enjoyed as a side dish at bbqs (bring this and look cool) but i like to just eat it for lunch!! ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ boxed pasta salad is so easy and super yummy but like any boxed food, you don’t really know what’s going into you! try this super easy recipe as a substitute.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ingredients:⁣⠀ • box of pasta ⁣⠀ • 10 oz bag of romaine ⁣⠀ • one of those cup things of cherry tomatoes halved ⁣⠀ • 1 cup of shredded cheddar ⁣⠀ • 3/4 cup bacon bits (i like using the ones that are like real bacon)⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ • 3/4 c mayo⁣⠀ • 1/4 c sour cream ⁣⠀ • 1 tbsp milk ⁣⠀ • 1/4 tsp these things ⁣⠀ - salt⁣⠀ - pepper ⁣⠀ - garlic powder ⁣⠀ - red chili flakes ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ directions:⁣⠀ - cook noodles ⁣⠀ - while noodles are cooking, wash your veggies, cut the tomatoes⁣⠀ - in a large bowl mix all the ingredients in the second group of items (starting w mayo) ⁣⠀ - drain noodles & rinse w cold water ⁣⠀ - add noddles, tomatoes, cheese, bacon & lettuce to bowl and mix!!⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #homecooking #pastasalad #betterhomemade #trysomethingnew
