Ingredients
- Pasta - any small pasta shape will work, like rotini, shells, elbows.
- Mayo - you can use lite mayo if you prefer.
- Sour cream - this adds extra creaminess and a slight tang to the dressing.
- Dill pickle juice - make sure you're using dill pickle juice and not bread and butter pickle juice or your pasta salad will be sweet.
- Dried dill - you can use fresh dill if you have it.
- Pickles - I recommend using mini pickles for this recipe because their skins are thinner and they don't have as many seeds as larger pickles.
- Cheddar cheese - you could use colby jack cheese as well.
- Onion - white or yellow, whatever you have. You want to dice it very finely so you don't have big chunks of raw onion in your pasta salad.
