ENJOY! Store in the fridge for a few days. I find that it dries out a bit but you can add a little extra dressing when serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Ice Bath Pasta Technique ❄️After cooking rotini al dente, shock it in ice water for 30 seconds to stop the cooking process and prevent the pasta from becoming mushy when mixed with dressing.
- Uniform Vegetable Cutting 🔪Dice all vegetables into similar bite-sized pieces so they distribute evenly throughout the salad and provide consistent flavor in every forkful.
- Drain and Dry Completely 💧Pat the cooled pasta and vegetables dry with paper towels before mixing with ranch dressing to prevent excess moisture from diluting the flavors and making the salad watery.
- Chill Before Serving ⏰Refrigerate the finished salad for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow flavors to meld together and for the pasta to absorb the ranch dressing evenly.
- Reserve Dressing Strategy 🥣Mix in only 75% of the ranch dressing initially and reserve the rest to add just before serving, keeping the salad fresh and preventing it from becoming overly thick.
