Ingredients

Salad Dressing

1 cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup dill pickle juice from the pickle jar
½ teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoon chopped fresh dill plus more for garnish

Pasta

1 lb. cellentani or corkscrew pasta
2 cups diced baby dill pickles plus more for garnish
1½ cups cubed sharp cheddar cheese
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook your pasta al dente according to the package directions. Drain in a colander and rinse with a little cold water to stop the cooking process and keep your pasta from sticking. Drain well and add the pasta to a large bowl.
In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, pickle juice, onion powder, and fresh dill.
Stir the mayonnaise mixture, dill pickles, and cheddar cheese cubes into the pasta.
Season with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh dill.

Notes

This pasta salad can be made up to 2 days in advance, but wait until you are ready to serve to toss it with the dressing.
Keep this salad covered and refrigerated until ready to serve.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If it is a little dry, add a bit of mayo, sour cream, or a splash of pickle juice.
