Substitutions & Variations
Bacon: I’ve seen lots of TikTok recipes for this dill pickle salad that add bacon pieces or bacon bits…not gonna argue with that one!
Cheese: Use whatever cheese you love! Pepper Jack would be great for a little kick. Mozzarella balls or cubed Monterey Jack also work well.
Miracle Whip: Love a bit of sweetness? Use Miracle Whip in place of mayo or use 1/2 mayo and 1/2 Miracle Whip.
Type of Pasta: Use whatever type of pasta you like–macaroni or medium shell pasta is great, too. Get creative with your pasta shapes!
Expert Tips
- The pasta salad will absorb liquid after being stored. You can add a splash of pickle juice or milk, or a little mayo to loosen it up before serving. You can also reserve a bit of the dressing if you know you’ll be enjoying it the next day.
- Want a thicker dressing? Add a little sour cream for a thicker, creamy texture.
- This is a great salad to bring to a party or BBQ. Serve it up with burgers, hot dogs, or grilled chicken.
