CUCUMBER PASTA SALAD



Cucumber Pasta Salad image

This light and tangy cucumber pasta salad is fresh and bright. The orecchiette pasta holds the dressing for flavor in every bite, but you can use another small pasta shape if you like. This easy salad is perfect for a warm day or to serve as a lunch dish for company! For a fruitier flavor, try apple-cider vinegar in place of white distilled vinegar.

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.
