BBQ Ranch Pasta Salad is sure to become a picnic favorite this spring and summer. It’s creamy and full of smoky flavor from Hidden Valley® Ranch Honey BBQ Dressing, one of 4 new Hidden Valley® Dressings available now at Walmart.
It also has sour cream, black beans, corn, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, diced chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, and the wonderful crunch of corn chips.
Pasta Salad is always a family favorite. It’s one of my favorite sides during the warm weather months. And I love it so much I often add a protein to it so it can be eaten as a full meal.
You can toss the ingredients for this BBQ Ranch Pasta Salad together in no time and have a huge bowl of delicious pasta salad that can feed the whole neighborhood.
Hidden Valley® Original Ranch has been a favorite of mine both as a salad dressing and a recipe ingredient. And now it is available in 4 new flavors at Walmart: Hidden Valley® Ranch Buffalo, Hidden Valley® Ranch Honey BBQ, Hidden Valley® Ranch Sriracha, and Hidden Valley® Ranch Cilantro Lime.
Hidden Valley® Ranch BBQ Honey is like a blend of Ranch dressing and BBQ sauce and since we are obsessed with BBQ sauce in my family we are loving this new dressing. It is fabulously sweet and tangy with lots of smoky flavor and it would be incredible on a chicken wrap or southwestern salad.
Next time you are in Walmart, throw a few of these new dressings in your shopping cart and you’ll be able to throw together countless quick and easy meals. I can’t wait to use the Buffalo flavor to make a Buffalo Chicken Ranch Pizza. 🙂

How many people will this recipe serve?
This looks delicious!! I wouldn’t use the GMO-laden salad dressing though, just saying. But, I could come up with my own organic version…thanks for sharing ! Will give this a try!!
I made this last night and used plain Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream and it was great! The Honey BBQ Ranch dressing is some gooooood stuff. Thank you for sharing this.
Looks great. Black beans are a nice addition, thanks a lot
That looks forbidden good!! 🙂
BBQ ranch salads are my absolute favorite, so I love that you took this one step further by adding some pasta. I’ve never tried that dressing before, so I’ll be on the lookout for it. Such a great dish for spring, Christin!
This looks amazing- the corn chips are an awesome touch 🙂
Corn chips on a salad? I’m all in. I think the whole family would easily devour this pretty salad.
Happy Monday Christin!
