Try this quick and easy flavorful fruity nut salad using Betty Crocker® ranch and bacon salad mix. Ready in 25 minutes!
Ingredients:
  • 1 box (7.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ Suddenly Salad® ranch and bacon salad mix
  • 6 slices bacon, cut into 1/2 inch slices
  • 3/4 cup cranberry-pomegranate juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce (6 leaves)
  • 1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans, toasted
  • 1 medium stalk celery, sliced (1/2 cup)
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 4 oz Roquefort or other blue cheese, crumbled (1 cup)
Instructions:
  • Fill a 3-quart saucepan two-thirds full of water and bring it to a boil. Add pasta and gently boil for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain the pasta and rinse with cold water to cool before draining well.
  • In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, sizzle bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove onto paper towels to drain.
  • Combine the flavorful Seasoning mix from the packet with the zesty juice and oil in a small bowl. In a large bowl, mix the cooked pasta with all the other ingredients, excluding the cheese.
  • Right before serving, coat the salad with the dressing and generously sprinkle with cheese.
