Dill Vegetable-Pasta Salad image

"My husband and I often have this delicious pasta salad for lunch or a light supper in the summertime-in lieu of a big meal," writes Darnell Griffin from her home in Estes Park, Colorado. Chunks of cheese and fresh vegetables eliminate the need for meat, and a light and creamy dill dressing replaces a heavy pasta sauce. Try it!

CHEDDAR DILL AND VEGGIE PASTA SALAD



Cheddar Dill and Veggie Pasta Salad image

Great summer side salad. I use extra sharp cheddar, because in my world, the sharper the better. The recipe calls for fresh dill, which I never have on hand so I always use dry, probably about 1 teaspoon, to taste. I do not remember where I got this, oops, so if someone knows, please let me know so I can put it here! Time to chill not included in cooktime.
