SMOKED SALMON, DILL AND CUCUMBER PASTA SALAD



Smoked Salmon, Dill and Cucumber Pasta Salad image

This is an improvisation on two recipes that I found on 'Zaar (#78690 and #211843). It makes a great summer dinner. You can substitute lowfat or nonfat sour cream for the mayo if you want something a bit lighter.

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.

Categories     Onions

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.
