Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces rotini pasta cooked drained, and rinsed in cool water
  • 2 cups whole dill pickles diced and reserve juice about 5 large pickles
  • 1½ cups cheddar cheese cubed or Colby-jack cheese
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon dried dill
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice

Method
 

  1. In a small mixing bowl whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, dried dill, onion powder, black pepper, dried parsley, and pickle juice to make the dressing.
  2. In a large salad bowl add the cooled pasta, dill pickles, cheese, fresh dill, and dressing.
  3. Tip: Make sure your pasta is fully cooled before adding the other ingredients, or your cheese will start to melt.
  4. Stir ingredients together until well combined.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to blend.
