I know, it's late for me to be blogging about one of the dishes that I made for Labor Day this year, but I have school work to do now, so I'm getting a little behind.
I searched for days for what to make to take to Grandma's. I needed to use ingredients that I already had in the kitchen. So when I found this recipe, I thought... hmmm.... now, THAT looks interesting.
The recipe called for seashell pasta... o.k. whatever... I used the curly ones instead, it almost all tastes the same anyway.
Original recipe... pasta, bacon, Ranch dressing, onion and tomato.
Well, my additional items were, colby/jack cheese (you can't have pasta salad without cheese, sorry), parsley and for the 'green' to take the place of lettuce (this is BLT, ya know), I used green olives that I cut up.
Now, that might not sound very appetizing, but I'm here to say... it was...
The dressing I had to do half the night before and then add the rest (probably more than what it called for), right before I left the house. Pasta tends to suck up dressing, so it's always good to have plenty and don't add it all at once.
Most of this was to taste and it was mighty tasty. I think everyone liked it. At least, I didn't hear any complaining, lol...
