Dill Pickle Pasta Salad Recipe

Dill Pickle Pasta Salad

Now that the weather is starting to warm up, I’m feeling less enthusiastic about hot soups and casseroles. At the end of a warm day, a nice, chilled salad seems a lot more appealing. Naturally, I’ve got lots of cold salad recipes already. There’s my Tarragon Chicken Salad, my Best Potato Salad, and of course, my beloved coleslaw. But lately, I’ve been feeling in the mood for something…different. Something with a twist.

And here’s my twist: Dill Pickle Pasta Salad.

This starts out like a classic pasta salad, with cubed cheddar and a creamy, garlicky dressing. But then comes the twist: the juicy crunch and sour-salty flavor of a good dill pickle. In fact, for good measure, it’s got half a cup of the pickle juice thrown in, so that pickle-y flavor spreads throughout the whole dish. This is one pasta salad that’s definitely twisted. And I’m loving it!

    Would this recipe be ok with cubed ham to make it a quick meal?

    A really nice change of pace and my husband loved it. What a surprise as he hates pasta salads. Next time I will cut back the mayo to 1/2 – 3/4 c instead. Very tasty. Thanks.

    1. Hates pasta salad?! How could he! lol. So happy we changed his mind for this recipe 🙂
