Low-Carb Garden Ranch Pasta Salad with a Spicy Kick
This Low-Carb Garden Ranch Pasta Salad is bursting with fresh flavor and a little kick of heat. Tender Cavatappi pasta is tossed with crisp celery, zucchini, shredded carrots, black olives, mushrooms, sharp cheddar, and savory salami for a colorful and satisfying bite. But what truly makes this pasta salad unforgettable are the two secret ingredients: Primal Palate Garden Ranch Seasoning Mix, which adds an herby, tangy depth, and a spoonful (or two) of diced hot cherry pepper hoagie spread, bringing just the right balance of heat and zing. Together, they transform a classic pasta salad into a bold, crave-worthy dish that’s perfect for picnics, potlucks, or easy weeknight meals.
