Shrimp Pasta Salad
I like to flavor up my dishes by finding ingredients that will compliment my primary ingredients, not overpower them. Over the hot summer months, I often like to turn to seafood such as shrimp for meals. While I do spice shrimp up on occasion, more often, I want it's delicate sweet flavor to still shine through. I recently found a wonderful compliment to the wild shrimp I love.

Hidden Valley® Cucumber Ranch is one of a new collection of dressings from Hidden Valley®. It has less tang, than most dressings, and just seemed absolutely perfect to me, for use with chilled shrimp, or in a pasta salad.
After trying it, I decided to make a simple shrimp pasta salad for dinner that night, with just a few herbs and the dressing.
I really saw no reason to add anything else, the refreshing flavor of the Hidden Valley® Cucumber Ranch was just right for the dish.
