8 Ounces Pasta
Drain and rinse the cooked pasta under cold water to stop the cooking process. Transfer the cooled pasta to a large bowl.
To the cooled pasta, add chopped dill pickles, white onion, and cubed cheese.
1 Cup Dill Pickles, 2/3 Cup Cheddar Cheese, 2 Tablespoons White Onion
In a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, fresh dill or dried dill, cayenne pepper, black pepper, dried parsley, and pickle juice to make the dressing. Give it a good stir until everything is well combined.
2/3 Cup Mayonnaise Salad Dressing, 1/3 Cup Sour Cream, 2 Tablespoons Fresh Dill, 1/8 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper, 4 Tablespoons Dill Pickle Juice, ½ Teaspoon Dried Parsley, ½ Teaspoon Black Pepper
Pour the creamy dressing over the top and toss gently to combine. Be sure every bite is coated for the best flavor.
For best flavor, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to blend.
