Ranch Imposter-Pasta Salad
Need a delicious lunch or side dish for the summer?! My Ranch Imposter-Pasta Salad is delicious! It is full of flavor, and in my opinion way better than the pasta versions. I make this and my broccoli salad weekly during the summer for a quick lunch or side dish. When I bring it to BBQs I always leave with an empty bowl too! Dive into a bowl of this delicious, low-carb delight and enjoy a satisfying, healthy alternative to your favorite pasta salad.
