Great for a party or potluck where everyone else is bringing a boring tossed or macaroni salad. Kids love the ranch, husbands love the bacon, moms love the veges.
Ingredients
- 1 box pasta (I use tri-color rotini for color) shopping list

- 1 pkg cheese crumbles (or chop your own into small bits - not shredded) shopping list
- 1 each red and green bell pepper, chopped shopping list
- 1 red onion, chopped shopping list

- black pepper shopping list
- use your imagination! shopping list
How to make it
- Cook pasta al dente - not mushy! Remember that it soaks up a bit of dressing too. Drain, rinse, cool.
- Chop veges while pasta cooks.
- Mix all ingredients together to taste and appearance, except dressing.
- Add dressing a little at a time, then mix. Add more until desired creaminess.
- Chill until flavors are "well-aquainted".
- Add more dressing as needed - pasta will soak some up.
