CREAMY TORTELLINI SALAD WITH CHICKEN, BACON, AND RANCH DRESSING



Creamy Tortellini Salad with Chicken, Bacon, and Ranch Dressing image

When I moved to Oklahoma, I discovered a pizza called "chicken bacon ranch" and this pasta salad is a nod to the flavors in the pizza. If desired, marinate chicken in ranch dressing, and grill chicken to bump up the flavor.
