Shauri's Pasta Salad

8-10 oz small pasta shells (or any other style pasta you like-I prefer this size and shape)

Any amount of the following, diced small:

carrots

cucumbers

cherry or grape tomatoes

celery

green/red/yellow pepper

cheese (I like mozzarella)

About 1/4 C mild olive oil or canola oil (maybe less, adjust to your liking)

One (regular sized) packet Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix

Cook pasta to al dente. Let it cool (I like to shock the pasta in ice water for a minute or two). Drain pasta and transfer into a medium sized salad bowl. Add chopped ingredients. Drizzle with oil and mix well. Sprinkle with Ranch dressing mix and stir and toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.
