My Ranch Macaroni Salad
"I just threw this together on the fly, using some leftover salad ingredients that I had pre-cut for dinner last night, and it tasted so very yummy I just have to share it! I have to say, I am not positive about the measures, I didn't measure it."
- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
4-5
ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb elbow macaroni
- 1⁄2 cucumber, sliced and quartered
- 1⁄2 cup celery, sliced
- 1⁄4 cup carrot, grated
- 1 (10 ounce) can chicken
- 1⁄4 cup bacon bits
- 1⁄3 cup mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons ranch dressing
directions
- Boil the macaroni and drain. (when I'm in a hurry, I put the cooling macaroni in the freezer in a bowl.).
- In a large bowl, mix together the vegetables, mayo and dressing. (If you wish to season do it now, I tend not to season it because the ranch flavor is what I like.).
- After the macaroni is cool enough, mix together, and enjoy it heartily!
- *There are a few times when I have actually eaten this slightly warm because I couldn't wait for it to cool all the way! It still tastes good that way too!

<p>II moved to the West coast 2 years, having lived in New England for 40 years, and totally love it here! <br />I LOVE to cook when I am cooking for more than myself! I tend not to cook if it's just me, or stick with more boxed stuff! It's just easier.</p>
<p>I won't be around much for a while, but will be on the road, driving a truck! I keep thinking about how I will be able to cook while we are out there! I know there are slow-cookers, and that I can get a microwave and there's even a12-volt oven that you can use, so it will be an experience! Wish us luck!!</p>
