Ingredients
- 2 oz cooked macaroni pasta, or shells
- ⅛ cup grape tomatoes, halved
- ½ slice bacon, cooked & chopped
- 1 slice ham, chopped
- 1 slice turkey, chopped
- ½ hard-boiled egg, sliced
- 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ avocado, diced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Ranch dressing
Instructions
Assemble the salad:
- In a large bowl, place the cooked macaroni, grape tomatoes, chopped bacon, ham, turkey, egg, and cheese. Add the ranch dressing and toss to combine. Since the salad will be coated with Ranch, the diced avocado won't be as noticeable once it browns. Otherwise, omit it from the recipe.
- Cover and refrigerate the pasta salad for two hours or up to 3 days.
For packed lunch:
- Fill a lunch box with some of the Cobb pasta salad, along with an ice pack if needed.
