So one of the favorite snacks and side dishes around my house is this easy 5 ingredient Ranch Pasta Salad. I have been making this for years and every time I have it in the fridge it disappears before I get more than a serving of it!

One of the things I have learned over the years of making this Ranch Pasta Salad is that using quality ingredients makes all the difference in the final salad and taste. I insist on ALWAYS using Chunk Chicken from Hormel. HORMEL® Premium Chicken Breast is the easy way to add great-tasting, satisfying protein to your meals.
