Found this recipe in a Betty Crocker Super Moist Cake booklet Spring 2008 issue (the kind you find at check-out). It sounded so good and would probably make a wonderful lunch or a feature for a bridal/baby shower. I haven't made this yet but it will be made very soon! You may cook up your own bacon if not using precooked bacon. Prep/Cook Time is an estimate. The original recipe indicates start to finish is 20 min.

1 (14 1/2 ounce) can fire roasted diced tomatoes, drained
2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves, lightly packed
1 (16 ounce) jar refrigerated ranch dressing
1 cup gorgonzola, crumbled (4 oz)

Hooray - a pasta salad using all my favorite ingredients! As we ate this for a couple of days, I added the fresh baby spinach right before serving each time to keep it perky. Used Kittencal's Best Creamy Ranch Dressing/Dip and it was a marvelous hot summer's evening meal. Thanks, Maggie.

I had some gorgonzola cheese and fresh spinach that I wanted to use up and came across this fantastic pasta salad, I used my Kittencal's Best Creamy Ranch Dressing/Dip and added in the spinach before serving, this salad deserves more than 5 stars, it is absolutely delicious and I look forward to making again soon, thanks so much for posting this Maggie!
