Dill Pickle Pasta Salad
What you need:
1/2 pound of dry shell pasta (3 cups)
3/4 cup sliced pickles
2/3 cup cheddar cheese – cubed
3 tbsp white onion
2 tbsp fresh dill
1/2 cup pickle juice
Dressing:
1/3 cup mayo
2/3 cup sour cream
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper – (I personally think this makes the dish! If I am making it for just me I might even add a little more. However, if kids are having this or someone that doesn’t like heat you won’t need to add more, in fact, you could even add a little less).
4 tbsp pickle juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
The Recipe is Simple
- Cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions.
- While pasta is cooking add chopped pickles, cheese, onion, and dill to a large bowl and set aside.
- Drain the cooked pasta from water and rinse under cold water. Add 1/2 cup pickle juice to the pasta and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Prepare the dressing by combining mayo, sour cream, pickle juice, and cayenne pepper in a separate dish. Whisk to combine.
- Drain pickle juice from the pasta and add pasta to the large bowl along with the dressing. Toss to combine all ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- I find it best to make this at least a couple hours ahead of time and refrigerate. It is best served cold and you really want the flavors to marinate together.
