Instructions

1
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and allow to cool completely.

While the pasta is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and place them in a large bowl with the diced red onion.
3
Cube the block of cheddar cheese and add it to the bowl with the vegetables.
4
In a separate, very large mixing bowl, prepare the dressing. Combine the mayonnaise, two ranch seasoning packets, and buttermilk. Whisk until smooth.
5
Add the cooled, cooked pasta to the bowl with the dressing.
6
Pour the vegetable and cheese mixture into the pasta and dressing.
7
Stir everything together until all ingredients are evenly coated in the creamy ranch dressing.
8
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator before serving.
