If you decide to experiment with using Greek yogurt instead of mayo or sour cream, just know that it will change the end result slightly (taste wise).Again, you can use any cheese you want but I’ve found that the mild and creamy flavor of the Colby-Jack is the best in this recipe.
You can use any pasta but I highly recommend the rotini spiral pasta.Which is why I prefer this salad only after a couple hours in the fridge, that way it is still creamy but also cold too. As with any pasta salad, the longer it sits in the fridge the dressing will thicken up. I prefer it cold so I refrigerate it for a couple of hours. This salad can be served right away or refrigerated for 1-2 hours before serving if you prefer a cold pasta salad.It adds a smoothness and creaminess to the salad. Sour Cream – I have used light sour cream with great results in this recipe. Make sure you finely dice it so no one ends up with big chunks of onion in their pasta salad. It adds such a needed flavor profile to this salad. With that said, I would not skip the onion. A yellow onion will be too strong (onion flavor wise) and the white will blend in with the dressing and pasta. White Onion – Yes it’s very specific and yes you will want to use the white onion. Although I wonder if they sell bottles of straight up dill pickle juice? Anyways, you will just need to use some of the juice from the pickle jar for this recipe. See my pictures below.ĭill Pickle Juice – No this is not an extra ingredient. Make sure you dice the cheese really small. I am not a fan of mayonnaise to begin with, but you need it in pasta salads, and if I am going to eat it then it needs to be the real stuff.Ĭolby Jack Cheese – You really can use any cheese but I have found the Colby Jack to be the best. The real stuff because it tastes so much better. Mayonnaise – Please, please use REAL mayonnaise. Plus, I think the baby dill pickles are crunchier and taste better.
Rotini Pasta – This is the best pasta for any pasta salad, but especially this one because the spiral curves of the pasta soak up all that pickle goodness.īaby Dill Pickles – The baby dills are small so they’re much easier to cut for this salad. So hearty, filling, and they make a great meal on their own or serve as a side dish for a BBQ or summertime dinner. Like this ranch pasta salad and this easy Italian pasta salad. You will also love this dill pickle chicken salad too. But if 2 cups of chopped pickles + pickle juice is your thing, then I know you will love this pasta salad recipe that is loaded with dill pickle flavor. If you’re not a fan of pickles then you may just want to look away. I have no words for this dill pickle pasta salad. Dill Pickle Pasta Salad will be an instant favorite! Tender spiral pasta, 2 cups of diced pickles, cheese, and onion covered in a ultra creamy homemade dill dressing with pickle juice.
