Crab Pasta Salad (Kristi H)

I've always made this without pasta, but decided to try some and liked it!

2 1/2 cups elbow macaroni, cooked
1 pkg. imitation crab meat, flaked
2 med. tomatoes, chopped
1 small cucumber, chopped
1 heaping tablespoon mayonaise
1 teaspoon ranch salad dressing mix (or to taste)
other spices you may like, to taste (garlic, celery salt, onion powder, lemon pepper, etc.)  *optional

Mix everything together and taste.  If it's too drab, sprinkle some more ranch mix on or add some of your other favorite spices.  Sometimes a tiny sprinkle of sugar brings out the other flavors. 

This always tastes better the next day, but is still great as soon as it's finished.  If you remember, make it the night before.
