Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad

If you regularly follow me, you’ll know that we do weekly dinners with the kids and that we have everyone write down a meal choice and we draw one from the bowl after dinner for the next week’s meal.  This way, we don’t get stuck in a rut.  

This week, though, Alex wanted Bacon Cheeseburgers.  Since there’s no mystery to those, I found a side dish to go along with our burgers, and this is a good one.  Let me know what you think.
