Creamy Greek-Style Pasta Salad

"I recently developed this recipe, it's a full-flavored salad and not for anyone with plain palettes, the dressing is what really makes this salad --- feel free to add in other veggies of your choice, adjust the dressing and salad amounts to suit taste, plan ahead this salad must chill for 5 or more hours before serving, prep time includes chilling time."

  3. This was a wonderful blend of Greek flavors! It's a perfect meal for a hot summer evening. I was a bit skeptical about the ranch dressing, but it lends a nice creaminess without an overwhelming flavor. I think some artichoke hearts would make a nice addition.
