Layered Summer Pasta Salad By Kelly Miller • June27,2011 • Updated November 23, 2020 • 2 Comments 1.9K Jump to Recipe So Saturday we had plans to take Silas to Mt. Gretna lake. We were planning on having a picnic lunch there and I volunteered to bring some sort of a pasta salad. Well plans got changed when we realized we had to visit Paul’s dad in Abington Hospital. I had to make the pasta salad anyway because the rest of the family still went and they took the booger with them. I was searching online for a recipe that used one of the Suddenly Salad mixes since I have a gagillion of them from last week’s sale at Weis. Here’s the adapted recipe I used: Layered Summer Pasta Salad Layered Summer Pasta Salad with bacon ranch pasta salad mix, broccoli, tomatoes, lettuce, and cheese.
