Step-by-Step Instructions for Club Sandwich Pasta Salad
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the tri-color rotini pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically 8-10 minutes.
  2. Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse it with cold water to halt the cooking process. Set aside to cool completely.
  3. In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta with chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled bacon, chopped turkey, and diced ham. Toss gently.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the creamy ranch dressing with a splash of mayonnaise until smooth and well combined.
  5. Pour the prepared dressing over the pasta salad ingredients in the mixing bowl and gently toss everything together.
  6. Cover the mixing bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
