I used to love that stuff years ago. Here's how to make it even better homemade. (The bacon ranch one.)
SERVES 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked shell pasta
- 4-5 peeled baby carrots, shredded or 1 large regular carrot
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise, more if desired (but NOT miracle whip)
- 1/2 (1 ounce) packet hidden valley ranch dressing mix
- 1/4 cup bacon bit (I use Hormel REAL bacon bits or pieces)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Directions
1
In large bowl, mix mayo, dressing mix, bacon bits, shredded carrots and onion powder. Chill while making the rest.2
Cook pasta according to pkg. directions for pasta using the shortest alotted time. (Or cook al dente.).3
Drain and cool.4
Fold in pasta well. Fold in peas last, carefully.5
Chill for several hours.6
Serve chilled or room temperature.7
Refresh salad if needed with a tiny bit of mayo, but it usually doesn't need it.8
Garnish top with more bacon bits/pieces.

This was perfect!!! DD tried the boxed variety at a friends house and requested this (??????) for her birthday dinner. Not one for boxed anything I turned to Zaar for the rescue and voila, there was your recipe. She loved it and so didn't the rest of the family. Thank you so much for posting this.

How wonderful! I used to love those suddenly salad packages, too, and this was just like I remembered them to be. I have made two batches this last week. It is such a good thing to have in the fridge when you need to have a bite to eat on the run. A few capers add a nice touch or some sliced black olives. Thanks dear, I love it!

Wow! Good stuff! I used almost all the package of seasoning, left out the peas, (none of us are wild about peas) and I also added a little sour cream. (about a 4th of a cup - didn't measure)Very tasty and easy to make. Thanks!
