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

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

In a medium bowl, mix up your Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning, Salad Dressing & Recipe Mix Packet 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.

Chill or serve right away.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AllieD78 from I love this pasta salad! This recipe is great, as is. The beautiful thing though, is you can add more veggies of any kind and it's still great!!
