This tangy, refreshing dill pickle pasta salad is the perfect dish for a summer barbecue or picnic. With simple ingredients and easy instructions, you can whip this up in no time!
In a large bowl, combine the 16 ounces rotini pasta, 2 cups chopped dill pickle, and 8 ounces mild cheddar cheese cubes. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ½ cup mayonnaise, ½ cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons fresh dill, 1 tablespoon pickle juice, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the pasta, pickles, and cheese and toss to combine.
Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until well chilled, then serve.
Notes
We know it's tempting to toss everything into one bowl and save a step (and another dirty dish!), but whisking the dressing together before tossing with the pasta keeps it smooth and lump-free. Don't skip that step!
This pasta salad will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
