Description
A creamy and tangy pasta salad bursting with flavors of dill pickles, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces pasta (e.g., rotini or penne)
- 1 cup dill pickles, diced
- 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup celery, diced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon pickle juice
- 1 teaspoon dill weed
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once it’s bubbling, add your pasta. Cook according to package instructions until it’s al dente.
- Prepare the Veggies: While the pasta cooks, chop your dill pickles, red onion, and celery.
- Mix the Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, pickle juice, dill weed, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk together until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Combine Everything: Drain the pasta and let it cool slightly. Mix in the chopped veggies, then pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and stir gently until well coated.
- Taste and Adjust: Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Chill the pasta salad in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Letting the salad chill enhances the flavors. You can customize the salad with ingredients like bacon, jalapeños, or avocado for added twists!
