Mom's Pasta, Grape and Olive Salad (96 of 150)

This recipe filtered to the top when I was looking for a pasta dish to take to Sunday dinner last weekend. Mom made this a handful of times and I remember absolutely loving it. So I figured I'd give it a try. 

First problem, I couldn't find (anywhere) packaged dry blue cheese dressing. I now have several packets (thanks Amazon) but those arrived a little too late. So I subbed in ranch dressing. Not sure you get the same impact as you would with blue cheese, but it was still delicious. 

Everything else I kept the same. It's a delicious pasta salad and I highly recommend making it
