INGREDIENTS
16 oz rotini pasta cooked, drained, and rinsed in cool water
2 cup whole dill pickles diced and reserve juice (about 5 large pickles)
1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese cubed (or Colby-jack cheese)
1 to 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tbsp dried dill
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp dried parsley
2 tbsp dill pickle juice
INSTRUCTIONS
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.
In a large salad bowl add the cooled pasta, dill pickles, cheese, fresh dill, and dressing.
Tip: Make sure your pasta is fully cooled before adding the other ingredients, or your cheese will start to melt.
Stir ingredients together until well combined.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to blend.
