Instructions

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool.

Combine Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, combine the cooled pasta, buffalo chicken, cherry tomatoes, celery, red onion, carrots, and corn. Toss gently to mix everything together.

Dress the Salad: Drizzle the ranch dressing over the pasta salad and toss to combine. If desired, add blue cheese crumbles and mix again, being careful to keep the cheese intact.

Season: Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Add additional buffalo sauce for more heat if desired.
