CUCUMBER SPAGHETTI SALAD WITH DILL



Cucumber Spaghetti Salad With Dill image

This salad is so refreshing and addictive! The secret is Marzetti Slaw Dressing, which can be found in the produce section of your grocery store. I have also seen it in the section by the salad dressings.

CUCUMBER DILL PASTA SALAD



Cucumber Dill Pasta Salad image

There are lots of pasta salad recipes here but I don't see this particular variation. I love dill in most anything and combined with cucumbers and pasta, it's tart/creamy comfort food to me. For even more color & crunch, radishes could be added for another twist. You may need to adjust the mayo and sour cream amounts - I don't really measure it so I've guessed. I start with a large dollop of each then add till I get the texture and taste that I want. Update: Thanks to the first reviewer for finding my typo with the salt; it has been corrected.

Time 1h30m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb shell pasta (or your favorite small shape)
1 bunch chopped green onion
2 cups diced cucumbers, unpeeled (1 -2 large)
1 cup low-fat mayonnaise (I think Miracle Whip would make it too tart but use if you like)
1 cup low-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon coarse black pepper

Steps:

  • Cook shells per package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Drain again.
  • In large bowl combine pasta with green onions and cucumbers.
  • In another bowl, blend together dressing ingredients, adding more or less of ingredients to get the right taste for you.
  • Toss dressing with pasta and refrigerate. Serve cold.
  • Note: If refrigerated for long, the cucumbers will "weep" and make the salad less than appealing. Plan to eat this within 2 hours of making.

MACARONI SALAD WITH DILL



Macaroni Salad With Dill image

Quick, easy to make Macaroni Salad with a touch of dill to give it a little extra zip. This can be easily altered by adding additional veggies, like carrots, green peppers, or diced tomatoes. For a more hearty salad, diced chicken can also be added. Light mayo can be substituted to reduce calories.

CUCUMBER TOMATO MACARONI SALAD



Cucumber Tomato Macaroni Salad image

My family loves this salad! --- remember to use both mayo and salad dressing combined, the two dressings combined seem to spark up the taste, plan ahead this needs to be refrigerated overnight to blend the flavors.

Time P1D

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb elbow macaroni, cooked to eldente, drained and rinsed well
1 large cucumber, peeled and diced
1 large tomatoes, chopped with liquid included
1 small onion, chopped (more to suit taste)
1 large green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 -3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled cooled, and chopped (optional)
3/4 cup mayonnaise (Hellman's is best)
1/2 cup Miracle Whip
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
2 teaspoons celery salt, to taste
2 teaspoons seasoning salt, to taste
black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine ALL ingredients; toss to coat (adding more mayo and/or salad dressing to taste).
  • Cover; refrigerate overnight to blend flavors.
  • Stir before serving.
  • Note: If you don't want to include the cooked hard-boiled eggs in the salad, I sometimes cook up 6-7 (or how many you desire), and just cut them into four pieces, and just lay them on top evenly around a large bowl with the pasta salad, so people have the option of having them or not-- and it makes for a nice presentaion-- if you are adding them into the salad, then 2-3 chopped should be enough.
