1 box (12 oz.) elbow macaroni or any pasta cut
1 packet Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups sliced yellow and red grape tomatoes

2 small cans sliced olives (or one large one)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps (7)

Step 1
Boil your pasta according to package instructions. You want the pasta to be al dente so it's not overcooked.

While your pasta is boiling, gather all your other ingredients.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, mix up your Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix with the mayo, sour cream, milk and garlic powder and set aside.
Step 4
Place all other ingredients in a large bowl.
Step 5
Once your pasta is finished, rinse under a cool stream of water until all the pasta is cool.
Step 6
Place the pasta in with the other ingredients, add the dressing and toss until well-coated.
Step 7
Chill or serve right away.
