Instructions
Step 1: Cook the rotini pasta according to the package instructions until al dente.
Step 2: Drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to cool completely.
Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, cheddar cheese, red onion, and corn.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch seasoning mix, lemon juice, black pepper, garlic powder, and salt.
Step 5: Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Step 6: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the pasta salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Step 7: Stir the pasta salad before serving and garnish with extra black pepper if desired.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store the pasta salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Stir before serving, as the dressing may thicken slightly after chilling.
Do not freeze, as the creamy dressing and fresh vegetables may lose their texture.
Serve chilled directly from the refrigerator for the best flavor and texture.
