Yields: 10 servings
"This is an easy but flavorful pasta salad that I'm always asked to bring to potlucks. With chunks of onion, tomato, and bacon, smothered in Ranch dressing, it is full of flavor! This salad tastes best if made several hours ahead of time."
INGREDIENTS:
1 (16 ounce) package medium
seashell pasta
1 pound sliced bacon
1 1/2 cups light Ranch-style

salad dressing
1 small onion, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
DIRECTIONS:
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water to cool.
2. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crisp. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
3. In a large bowl, stir together the Ranch dressing, onion, and tomatoes. Mix in the cooled pasta. The pasta will absorb some of the dressing, so don't worry if it seems like too much. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Crumble bacon over the top just before serving.

4. Add good water (not Southern California tap water if possible) in about 1/8 cup amounts and blend until he desired consistency is achieved.
5. Set the hummus in a service bowl. A few branches of parsley placed on the hummus adds a nice look to the dish.
6. Just before eating make an indent in the center of the hummus plate and pour a small amount of olive oil into the indent.
6. You can eat it right away, but the hummus improves if it sits overnight in the refrigerator.

eat it with toasted or cold pita bread

DEVILED EGGS

6 eggs
1/4 tsp prepared mustard
1/8 tsp dill
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1/8 tsp white pepper
1/8 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp salt
1-2 tsp milk

Place eggs in a pan and cover with water. Boil eggs for about 4 minutes.
Remove from heat and place in ice water. Let cool down to room temperature.

Peel under cold running water. Slice eggs in half. Place egg whites on a plate or serving tray rinsed and dried.

Mash egg yolks with a fork and add all ingredients except for paprika.

If desired, you can add more mayonnaise with a little bit of milk (small amounts at a time, as you can always add but not take out or you'll end up boiling another egg or two.. lol..)

Fill each half about a teaspoon and sprinkle with paprika. Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours.

Makes about 6 servings. Be creative, top with bay shrimp, anchovies, or add some of your favorite spices.
