Ingredients
  

For the dressing

  • 2/3 cup real mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup dill pickle juice See Note 1
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/s tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp EACH sea salt and black pepper

For the salad

  • 12-16 oz. dry rotini pasta
  • 1 cup dill pickles, chopped
  • 1/3 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/2-1 cup cheddar cheese, cubed
  • 1 1/2 tbsp dried dill OR 2-3 tbsp fresh dill

Notes

Note 1: You can play around with this amount–if you like a more creamy dressing, use a bit less pickle juice. For a more light dressing, add more juice!
Tip: 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.
