Creamy Cucumber Pasta Salad
From Holly Nilsson on Spend with Pennies
Ingredients
- 1 long English cucumber
- ½ lb medium sized pasta penne or rotini
- ½ sweet white onion
Dressing
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill or 2 tsp dried
- 2 tablespoons white or apple cider vinegar
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine all dressing ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.
- Thinly slice onion and place in a bowl of cold water. (see note)
- Cook pasta al dente according to package directions. Run under cold water to stop cooking.
- Cut cucumber in half lengthwise and remove seeds using a spoon. Slice into thin slices.
- Toss all ingredients in a large bowl. Let sit at least 40 minutes before serving.
Notes
Soaking the onions in cold water is optional but takes a bit of the “bite” out of the onion.
