Piccolini Pasta Salad

Happy Foodie Friday from Applejack Lane.  Today, I want to share a never fail pasta salad that has oodles of flavor.  I hope you will try it for a great summer side.

Piccolini Pasta Salad
 3 cups  dry piccolini pasta, cooked according to package directions and drained
1 large onion, chopped
1 10 oz. package frozen baby peas, thawed-I only use about 1/2 bag
1 2.8 oz. bottle Hormel Real Bacon pieces
2/3 cup quality mayonnaise
2/3 cup Ranch dressing
1 cup Kraft Three Cheese Crumbles
1 cup halved grape tomatoes

Layer cooked pasta, onion, peas, and bacon pieces in a bowl.
Mix mayonnaise and Ranch dressing together.  Spread over pasta mixture.
Top with cheese crumbles and tomato halves.
Place halves face down to prevent moisture loss.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate at least four hours or longer.  The flavor gets better with time.
When ready to serve, mix all ingredients gently, coating pasta completely.
Serves 10-12.
Enjoy!
