Preparation
Prepare pasta according to package directions until tender. Drain, rinse in cold water, drain again, and set aside in large bowl. While waiting for pasta water to come to a boil, in a small bowl, combine buttermilk, ranch dressing, taco seasoning and lime juice, and set aside. Toss cooled pasta with dressing mixture, and in layers, top with avocado, tomatoes, cheese, olives, and green onion to resemble seven layer dip. Tip: if preparing ahead of time, either leave addition of avocado until serving time, or, toss cubed avocado in a little additional lime juice to prevent browning.
