Ranch Pasta Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (10 ounce) package pasta, cooked and drained (elbow \"or\" small shells work fine)
3 -4 tomatoes, diced
2 cucumbers, sliced thin
10 ounces bacon bits (use a jar \"or\" you own)
1 cup of hellmans mayonnaise
1 package hidden valley ranch dressing mix
salt and pepper

Preparation

Mix mayo and ranch seasoning until well blended.
Set aside.
In large bowl combine pasta, tomatos, cucumbers, and mayo mixture.
Add salt, pepper, and bacon bits.
Let pasta salad set 4-6 hours or overnight if possible.
Add more mayo if needed before serving (the creamier the better!).
Serve chilled.
My husband is a cheese lover and likes me to add 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar.
For a change of color, I use garden blend spiral pasta.
