Step 1

Prepare pasta noodles al dente according to package directions.

Step 2

Strain and cool.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the ranch dressing envelope according to the package directions adding mayo & buttermilk.

Step 4

I thin it out with a couple additional tablespoons of buttermilk or milk if needed.

Step 5

Add cubed cheese, cucumber, tomato halves, and optional ham to the pasta.

Step 6

Add dressing.

Step 7

Combine well.

Step 8

Refrigerate for an hour or more. If the noodles soak up most of the dressing, you may add a bit of milk to loosen it up or just a squirt or two of bottled dressing.
