Cucumber – 1 medium, diced 7. Red Onion – 1/2 cup, finely chopped 8. Shredded Carrots – 1/2 cup 9. Red Cabbage – 1 cup, thinly sliced 10. Green Peas – 1/2 cup 11. Fresh Parsley – 2 tbsp, chopped 12. Apple Cider Vinegar – 1 tbsp 13. Dijon Mustard – 1 tsp 14. Garlic Powder – 1/2 tsp 15. Black Pepper – 1/2 tsp 16. Salt – 1 tsp, or to taste 17. Olive Oil – 1 tsp Recipe 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the salt. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to the package instructions until tender but still firm. 2. Drain the pasta thoroughly and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process. Toss with the olive oil to prevent sticking, then allow it to cool completely. 3. Wash the red bell pepper, cucumber, red cabbage, and parsley. Dice the bell pepper and cucumber, finely chop the red onion and parsley, and thinly slice the cabbage. 4. Peel and shred the carrots if using fresh carrots. If using frozen green peas, thaw them and drain away any excess water. 5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch seasoning mix, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. 6. Add the garlic powder and black pepper to the dressing. Whisk thoroughly until smooth, creamy, and evenly seasoned. 7. Taste the dressing and adjust the salt or vinegar if needed. Keep in mind that the ranch seasoning already contains salt. 8. Add the cooled rotini pasta to a large serving bowl. Make sure the pasta is completely cool so the creamy dressing does not become thin. 9. Add the diced red bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, shredded carrots, sliced red cabbage, and green peas to the pasta. 10. Pour the prepared ranch dressing over the pasta and vegetables. Gently toss everything together until every piece of pasta is evenly coated. 11. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the salad and fold it in gently. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend. 12. Before serving, stir the salad well. If the dressing has thickened too much, mix in 1–2 tablespoons of milk to restore its creamy consistency. 13. Transfer the pasta salad to a clean serving bowl, garnish with additional parsley, and serve chilled as a refreshing side dish for grilled chicken, burgers, or barbecue meals.
