CUCUMBER PASTA SALAD
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 SPAGHETTI SALAD WITH DILL
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
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.
