Veggie Platter Buttermilk Ranch Pasta Salad

I made up this recipe after trying to find a different kind of pasta salad, as usual I had tons of fresh veggies in the fridge so I just started putting things together. It is a huge hit around my house, and I can't wait to make it for summer parties, I am sure it will be a huge hit with family and friends. I do have trouble with measurements since I really only measure when I bake, so all the amounts are approximate.
