Ingredients

1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1 medium cucumber, diced
1½ cups broccoli florets, finely diced
8 oz sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise
1 oz ranch seasoning packet
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the rotini pasta until al dente according to package instructions.
Drain the pasta and rinse with cold water to cool it down quickly.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, bell pepper, cucumber, and broccoli.
In a separate bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, and ranch seasoning until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the pasta and vegetables, then stir until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust salt if needed.
Refrigerate for 1–2 hours before serving for best flavor.
Notes
Chill before serving for the best texture and taste.
If the salad dries out, mix in a little extra dressing before serving.
Add cooked chicken, bacon, or cheese for extra protein and flavor.
Chop vegetables finely for better texture in every bite.
