"2 of my favorite creamy pasta salad recipes using bottled salad dressing for one and and mayonnaise for the other."
For the first salad I used a 3-cheese ranch dressing. For the second one I just used plain mayonnaise.
The first salad is for all you cheese lovers out there. The dressing is a bottled 3 cheese ranch, but you can use regular ranch and just grate some cheese on it in a pinch.
The second salad has a nice mix of dill, lemon juice and mayonnaise that blends well with the canned salmon, or fresh cooked salmon if you have any.
This is a great salad to make if you have some leftover salmon from a previous meal as well.
