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.
