This pasta salad was a nice change of pace, particularly since I had never used angel hair (or spaghetti, for that matter) in a pasta salad. I couldn't find a 3 oz. pkg. of ranch dressing mix (the largest was 1 oz.) but it seemed to be ideal. Instead of 4 tomatoes, I used halved grape tomatoes, and I added some canned tuna for protein. I also used only 1 T. each of garlic powder and garlic salt (I was afraid of so much salt). I made everything else as posted. I found that, using the angel hair, it was difficult to mix everything together. However, it was very tasty and chock full of flavor. Made for Fall PAC 2012.
