Out to Sea Pasta Shell Salad
Here’s a healthier version of a popular boxed salad mix you can buy at the store. We absolutely love it! You can also add a little cooked chicken breast to make it heartier. &mdashAnn Timmerman, Northfield, Minnesota

Very tasty the first day, but you really do need to add something to it after it's been in the refrigerator for a while to make it creamy. We add ranch dressing like another reviewer did.
I did add a little bit of regular ranch dressing after it was sitting in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. My guests enjoyed it and has since served it at their gathering
My husband and I didn't care for this salad and felt it was missing something. Not sure what that ingredient was, we thought maybe more bacon or adding cheese cubes.

This was even better than the boxed pasta it is based of off. I very much enjoyed it and will keep it in my recipe box.
This was a great pasta salad. Even great left over for a quick lunch or snack. I'll be making this again.
