Description

This is a great go to cold pasta salad that is especially good in the summer. It's made with medium sized pasta, crisp, refreshing cucumbers, onion, and seasonings all in a creamy dill sauce.

Ingredients

• Pasta:
• 1 long English cucumber, seeded and sliced
• 1/2 lb. medium sized pasta, like penne or rotini
• 1/2 sweet white onion, peeled and sliced
• Dressing:
• 1/2 c. sour cream
• 1/2 c. mayonnaise
• 1 t. sugar
• 1/2 t. salt
• 2 T. fresh dill
• 2 T. white vinegar
• black pepper, to taste

Steps

1. Cook pasta in well salted boiling water until al dente according to package directions; drain; run under cold water to stop the cooking; drain again.
2. While pasta is cooking, combine all dressing ingredients in a bowl large enough to hold the entire salad; stir well; set aside.
3. Thinly slice onion and place in a bowl of cold water. This is optional, but takes some bite out of the onion. Drain.
