Ranch, Romaine, and Pasta Salad

June 6, 2015 · by gennavee ·

I also like to call this the “everything but the calories” pasta salad. My husband likes salads with lots of “stuff” in them, so I made this one for him and he loved it. What I also like about this salad is that it still allows you to enjoy some pasta without having a high-calorie bowl full of it.
