Ingredients

  • 1 english cucumber
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 lb. short cut pasta
  • 3/4 cup mayo
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp. dried dill
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. onion powder

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions. Rinse with cool water and drain well. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, peel cucumber and slice in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds. Slice into thin half moon slices. Place sliced cucumber in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat. Let sit for 30 minutes in the sink or over a bowl to drain. Once 30 minutes is up, shake to get all the extra water off the cucumbers.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the mayo, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, dill, pepper and onion powder. Add cucumbers and pasta and toss to coat. Enjoy right away or refrigerate for a few hours for even more flavor.
