BEST PASTA SALAD I HAVE MADE SO FAR! Thank you people for the helpful comments, I read through them and followed suggestions. Here's what I did: cooked 13oz shell pasta, 1 pkg bacon, and 1/2 pkg frozen peas. Afterward I cut up 2 tomatoes and let them warm in the bacon grease, and added salt/pepper. Cooled pasta, and added 1/2 c milk to it. Added bacon ranch dressing mixed with some mayo, 3 chopped green onions, the peas, the tomatoes, the bacon, about 1.5c shredded cheddar, fresh chopped spinach (I chopped maybe 30 leaves, some more wouldn't have hurt), and a little bit of shredded chicken that I had leftover. In the words of the miz AWEEESOMEEEE

I took the advice of others and mixed mayo with dry ranch, then added more ranch just before serving. Added peas, and substitutes the onions with green onions. The bowl was practically licked clean!

This was okay- good for a summer bbq. Bacon should be nice a crispy for this!

This is an amazing pasta salad-I normally hate pasta salad but my husband and i ate this for days! I also add a bit more ranch as the pasta absorbs it and i add sliced black olives! Yummmmm!

I made this for a summer cookout last year and everyone loved it. Everyone raved, and went back for seconds and thirds! I used green onion instead of regular onion, and bacon ranch dressing. I added some fresh spinach and extra tomato. Delicious!

I think that when I rate this as 5 stars, I'm rating the concept more than the actual recipe. Conceptually, this is awesome! Here are the changes I made to end up with my final product. 1. Instead of 1.5 cups of ranch-style dressing, I used two cups. 2. I used a bundle of green onions instead of a small onion. I combined cooled, cooked pasta, chopped tomatoes with seeds removed, chopped green onions and 1.5 cups of the ranch dressing the night before. And about an two hours before the party, I fried up already chopped bacon, let it cool and combined it with the pasta along with 0.5 cups of ranch dressing. Everyone loved it!!!

This is one of the salads I make that I get a lot of request for. It is very good. As it is written it serves a lot more than 10, more like 20 people. I use bowtie pasta, 3/4 cup bacon ranch drsg and 3/4 cup mayo instead of all ranch. I also used green onions instead of regular onions. Always a hit!
