Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 ounces bow tie pasta
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ red onion diced
- ½ cup chopped celery
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- ⅓ cup sliced black olives
Instructions
- Cook the pasta 'al dente' according to package directions. Drain and cool completely.
- Combine all remaining ingredients in a large bowl and mix until combined.
- Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes, and stir before serving.
Notes
- Cook pasta to al dente, drain, then "shock" the pasta by placing in a large bowl of ice water. This helps keep the pasta firm.
- Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Before serving, stir and add a bit of ranch dressing to refresh the flavors.
