Dill Pickle Pasta Salad

I've been the biggest fan of pickle flavored items this year! Trader Joe's got me hooked with their variety of pickle flavored popcorn, mustard, cheese, chips...I could go on and on. :) I found a dill pickle pasta salad recipe online and tweaked it until it was a perfect side dish to go with dinner on the grill! 

Dill Pickle Pasta Salad

Prep Time: 15 minutes    Servings: 6

Ingredients: 

1/2 box of medium sized shell pasta

2/3 cup of mayonnaise (I like Hellman's)

1/3 cup of sour cream (reduced fat works great!)

4 tablespoons of pickle juice

3/4 cup of chopped dill pickles (I like the refrigerated kind) 

1/4 cup of diced white onion

1/2 cup of diced cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill 

Couple shakes of paprika

Salt, pepper 

Directions:

  1. Place a large pot of water on the stove to boil. 
  2. Dice/Chop your dill pickles, white onion, cheddar cheese, and dill. Then place in the bottom of a bowl. 
  3. In another bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, pickle juice, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined. 
  4. Cook your pasta shells until they are al dente, then drain in a colander and run under cool water. 
  5. Place cooled pasta in the bowl with dill pickles, onion, cheddar cheese and dill. Then toss with dressing. Keep pasta salad refrigerated until dinner time! 


This is about the size you'll want to chop your cheddar cheese and pickles to: just big enough that you can get some for each bite!


The perfect creamy pasta salad for your next dinner. Enjoy!

Friday Favorites [3-1-2024]

  It's Friday and I'm here sharing my favorites from the week. As usual, I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika . Here we go!  My very first favorite is that Jack is 9 months old today! I can't believe he's been "out" for as long as I was pregnant with him. 😊 He is the happiest little baby, and we just can't imagine life without him. I shared a little monthly update on the blog today as well.  Another favorite is that Sammy lost his second tooth over the weekend. He pulled it out himself! I told him that pretty soon he won't have any teeth left. 😉 An easy sheet meal dinner was perfect for our Wednesday night. I took some italian chicken sausage, sweet potato gnocchi, and green beans, plus a little olive oil and seasonings and roasted it up for about 20 minutes. Sammy loves chicken sausages, so a fuss-free dinner is always a win in my book.  We put out some St. Patrick's Day books over the weekend and have been enjoying reading them. I keep a...

Friday Favorites [4-5-2024]

  Hello, Friday. It's always nice to see you. 😉 I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from my week. Here we go!  My first favorites are these sweet Easter pictures. We had a fun weekend celebrating! I love any reason for my little boys to get dressed up and get a cute picture. 😉 Another favorite on April 1st was celebrating Jack's 10 month birthday! I can't believe in two months he will be one. I loved this picture showing off his top two teeth.  3 years ago, my family was at one of our favorite places...Disney World! We went to Florida over Easter in 2021 with my extended family and it was a fun little trip. This trip was rescheduled from March of 2020, and I love seeing all of the memories from our trip. Sammy looks SO LITTLE.  In this picture we were riding Dumbo. I remember that Sammy got off the ride and promptly asked to go again. Haha.  We made my  Easy Weeknight Tostadas  on Tuesday of this week ...

Friday Favorites [5-3-2024]

  Yay! It's Friday and it's the month of MAY! Both of those things are very good things in my book. Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week.  On Monday I shared that we had a busy weekend! My mom and I hosted a Bridal Shower for my sweet cousin Caitlin, and then our new niece and nephew were baptized on Sunday. It was a fun (but tiring) way to spend the weekend!  Jack especially loved all of the family time, and was happy to sneak in some giggles with Great Grandma before the shower began. 😉 We whipped up these  Burrito Bowls  for dinner one night this week, and it was a new favorite. It was such an easy meal that Dustin and I both loved!  It's May, which means that it's time for me to read "Charlotte's Web" to my class. I read it every year during the month of May! This book has seen much better years - I think it's time for a new copy. Haha.  The boys and I love to play in the basement...
