Ingredients
Dressing
- ⅔ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- ¼ cup dill pickle juice
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp pepper
Pasta
- 3 cups dry pasta (mini shells, penne, rotini, macaroni, mini farfalle, etc.)
- 1 cup dill pickles (chopped)
- ¾ cup cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup diced onion (white or red)
- 2 tsp dried dill (or 2 Tbsp fresh dill)
Instructions
- Start by cooking your pasta according to the directions on the box until al dente. One pasta is cooked, drain it and rinse it under cold water. Set the cooked pasta aside for now.
- In a medium bowl, add all of the ingredients for the salad dressing. Whisk them together until it is nice and smooth. Place it in the refrigerator until ready to add to the pasta.
- Next, prep your other ingredients. Chop the cheddar cheese block into quarter-inch-sized cubes, dice the pickles, and dice the onions. If using fresh dill, chop this up as well. Add the ingredients to a large bowl. Add the cooked pasta and gently stir.
- Pour the salad dressing over the pasta and mix well, making sure everything is evenly coated. Serve immediately or cover and chill in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours before serving. Stir right before serving. Keep the pasta salad cold, storing any leftovers in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
