Ingredients
12 ounces rotini pasta
1/2 cup buffalo sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
1 packet (1 ounce) ranch salad dressing and seasoning mix
2 carrots, chopped
4 celery stalks, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, chopped
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to the package directions until just tender. Drain the pasta thoroughly in a colander.
Rinse the drained pasta under cold running water until completely chilled, then drain again to remove excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce, olive oil, and ranch dressing and seasoning mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the cooked and cooled pasta, chopped carrots, sliced celery, and chopped green bell pepper to the bowl with the buffalo-ranch mixture.
Toss all ingredients together until the pasta and vegetables are evenly coated with the buffalo-ranch dressing.
Cover and refrigerate the salad until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld together.
