Ingredients
  

  • 2 boxes Angel Hair Pasta
  • 1 medium cucumber
  • 1 medium tomato
  • 1-2 tablespoons diced red onions
  • bottle Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing
  • ¼ cup Ranch Dressing or 2-3 tablespoons
  • 1 tablespoon Dry Ranch Powder
  • salt or pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh herbs (such as basil, parsley, or dill) for garnish (optional).

Instructions
 

  • Boil pasta according to its package.
  • Drain and rinse it with cold water.
  • Put pasta in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add all other ingredients and mix well.

Notes

  • Sprinkle shredded cheese and bacon bits on top for a garnish
  • Instead of the Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing, I sometimes like to use one 16 ounces bottle of Zesty and ½ of a 16 ounces bottle of Roasted Red Pepper.
  • If you can make it the night before or allow pasta to refrigerate for 4-5 hours.
