Ranch Pasta Salad

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

Mix mayo and ranch seasoning until well blended. Set aside. In large bowl combine pasta, tomatoes, 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. Option – shredded cheese
