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.
