Cheddar & Dill Pickle Pasta Salad
Dill Pickle Pasta Salad is a unique twist that combines the tangy flavor and crunch of dill pickles with sharp cheddar and tender pasta.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 8 ounces boxed pasta cooked to packages instructions and chilled
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles
- 2 tablespoons pickle juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill or 1 tablespoon fresh
- 4 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup white onion finely chopped
- Fresh dill or chives for garnish
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain, rinse and set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, dill pickle juice and fresh dill. Stir in pasta to coat, then fold in chopped dill pickles and white onion.
- Fold in cheddar cheese a little at a time so it doesn't clump together.
- Garnish with cheddar and fresh dill.
Notes
- This will last a few days in the fridge so you can even make it a day ahead of time. Save the garnish for just before serving.
- Choose good quality dill pickles that have a nice crunch and flavor.
- Allowing the pasta salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving is essential. This gives the flavors time to meld together and allows the dressing to coat the pasta thoroughly.
