The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

I love this recipe and use it often! It tastes just like the ranch pasta salad you make from a Simply Pasta Salad box. I use Hellmans Mayo and grate my carrots with a fine grater. I suggest bacon bits rather than pieces, as pieces are a little too big. Don't worry about the 2-5 hour refrigeration time...I rinse the pasta with cold water after I drain it. You can serve it right away, or wait.

I tried this recipe with a little subsitution. I used shredded carrots and MIRACLE WHIP! The Miracle Whip gives it that little extra tangy flavor that goes so well with the bacon! Try it!
