Five Food Groups Pasta Salad
Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) package tri-color pasta
  • 1 cup creamy salad dressing
  • 1/2 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
  • 1 (12 ounce) can tuna, drained and flaked
  • 1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 medium apple - peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
  • 1/3 cup raisins
Instructions
1
Begin by filling a large vessel with salted water and placing it on high heat until the water reaches its boiling point.
2
Next, add your chosen pasta shape to the boiling water and cook for 8-10 minutes or until it reaches the desired level of doneness, which is typically firm in the center.
3
Drain the cooked pasta and allow it to cool down to room temperature.
4
In a spacious container, combine the cooled pasta with the creamy salad dressing, followed by the contents of the ranch seasoning packet, canned tuna, shredded Cheddar cheese, diced apple, grated carrot, and dried raisins.
5
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
