Here is another salad I had to try out so I took it to another potluck we had this month.  I love taking layered salads to potlucks.  You can make them ahead of time and they look pretty.  Then you just mix it up when it’s time to serve.  This layered pasta salad was simple to make, not a whole lot of ingredients.  Plus it was very yummy.  When I think of pasta salads, I usually think of salads made with an Italian/ oil and vinegar type dressing.  I loved the creamy ranch flavor of this one.  I found this layered pasta salad in my Summer issue of Food & Family from Kraft.

  6. I have a similar recipe that calls for shredded carrots between the pasta and pea layers. The orange from the carrots really adds some color.
