Well. This was easy and fast. I used elbow macaroni as I didn't have shells, and it seemed like a good alternative. I don't recommend letting it sit for more than an hour or two before eating. The pasta sucks up the dressing really quickly. By the next morning, it was just sort of dry and oily, with no ranch flavor left. I cut waaay back on the onion (family preference), and used grape tomatoes. I garnished with fresh chives to amp up the color. It was pretty okay if eaten soon after making, but I won't be eating the leftovers. The jury is out on whether I'm making this again. I think I will try it with a different dressing (used Kraft) as that may have been the culprit. Thanks. :)

This pasta salad is in my top five favorite summer salads for this year! I made it for a cookout last month and it was a smash hit! I was asked to make it again this weekend! I added some shredded cheddar cheese, used bacon flavored ranch dressing, and used canned tomatoes because that is the only thing I had on hand at the time. I made it the night before to allow the flavors to mingle and mixed in an extra dollop of dressing before serving. PERFECT! And the best part: it's SUPER EASY!!!

Yummy combination of flavors. I used halved grape tomatos and green onions. Used a bit more ranch and added some dill weed and celery seed to pump up the flavor. Everyone enjoyed it at our bbq!

I brought this pasta salad to a cookout and everyone raved about it! All the guys in the group LOVED it. This is definitely a keeper. I did not change anything with the recipe, however I did use Ranch dressing with bacon.

My new favorite pasta salad. I added peas and used green onions. There are never any left overs of this in my household! Definately on the menu for the 4th of July!

The bacon made it really salty and I ended up adding a lot of extra dressing because it got dry - but it went over very well at the church luncheon and I've had requests for it again. Thank you very much.

I love this recipe! I made it last week when I didn't know what to do for dinner, but decided to give it a try because I already had most of the ingredients. I used rotini pasta, grape tomatoes, and substituted peas for the onions. I didn't have any bacon on hand, but did have a full container of McCormick's bacon-flavored bits. It was the perfect amount and still tasted great! My husband and mom added hot sauce to theirs and gobbled it right up. I will definitely make this again!

After taking all the suggestions by other reviewers, this turned out great. To recap, I used green onions, cherry tomatoes, made the bacon in the oven, used colored rotini pasta, and bacon-ranch dressing. Everybody loved it, even people who don't normally like pasta salad.

My daughter loved this (the household pasta lover). I did add some Miracle whip to give it a little sweet flavor to it. Will make again.

I added green onions. I am not sure of the quantities of anything as I went by taste. It did need more salt and pepper. I took it to a large gathering and everyone loved it.

This was wonderful. Made a double batch to take to a picnic. It was all gone except for about two cups. I have never taken anything to this picnic that has received so many compliments and gave out the recipe a bunch of times. I too added peas to recipe.

I made this for a Memorial Day party. I used smoked, thick-cut bacon, Wishbone Ranch dressing (which I like), and tons of green onions instead of the white (to give it the "L"). Honestly, it was bland. My husband thought it tasted better fresh rather than refrigerated. I will not be making this again.

This was very good. I made it for company. I did a few things differently than the recipe states. I added a handful of sharp cheddar, I used Kraft ranch with bacon dressing, and I used minced onion. Next time, I will use a real onion, I think this salad needed that.

Made it for the first time this Memorial day weekend and it was a big hit. I tweaked the recipe using 1.5lbs bacon & 3 tomatoes, then used 3/4c. ranch & 3/4c. bacon ranch dressing. Will definitely make again, thanks!

I've made this recipe several times and my family loves it. I increase the ranch dressing to 2 cups, use sliced grape tomatoes, and add about 1/2 tsp. of black pepper. Also, I use rotini pasta instead of shell pasta because I find the shells tend to nest inside each other.

Lightened this by using Uncle Dan's ranch dressing made with Best Foods low fat mayo and 1% milk (used all 2 cups) and using Smart Bacon (vegetarian meat substitute). Also used about 1 cup green onions (adds color)and increased the tomatoes a little and added lettuc. My DH said he couldn't tell it was low fat - highest praise!
