Ingredients

  • 6 oz bowtie pasta, uncooked
  • 3 cups torn Romaine lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 2 strips reduced sodium bacon, cooked & crumbled
  • 4 tbsp fat reduced sour cream
  • 2 tbsp homemade ranch dressing mix, dry (on website)
  • 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

PLEASE NOTE:

1. Make the dressing – in a small bowl add 4 tbsp fat reduced sour cream, 2 tbsp of homemade ranch dressing mix and 1/8 tsp ground black pepper. Mix well and put in fridge to stay cold.

2. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting the salt. When cooked al dente, drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside and let the pasta continue to drain.

3. Wash, spin dry and tear up approximately three cups of Romaine lettuce. Place the lettuce into a large bowl.

4. Wash and dice up a medium sized tomato, add to the lettuce in the large bowl.
