Garden Fresh Pasta Salad image

This is one of the best tasting salads, I hope that you will enjoy it. Pasta Salads absorb dressing when stored in the refrigerator. A trick to help the salad moist and creamy is to stir some of the reserved pasta cooking water into the chilled salad just before serving. For added flavor, sprinkle salad with bacon bits just before serving.
