Ingredients

16 Ounces rotini pasta cooked, drained and cooled
2 Cups dill pickle chopped, about 6 dill pickle spears
8 Ounces cheddar cheese mild, cut into cubes
½ Cup mayonnaise
½ Cup sour cream
2 Tablespoons dill chopped, fresh
1 Tablespoon pickle juice
½ Teaspoon garlic powder
½ Teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ Teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the rotini pasta, chopped dill and cheddar cheese cubes. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, fresh dill, pickle juice, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and ground black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the pasta, pickles and cheese and toss to combine.
Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until well chilled then serve.

Notes

Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta salad is best with al dente pasta, so be sure to cook yours according to the package directions for al dente doneness.
Drain the pasta: Be sure to drain the pasta completely to get rid of any excess cooking water.
Whisk salad and dressing separately: Although it may be tempting to toss everything in one bowl, it's necessary to mix the dressing separately so you don’t end up with lumpy sauce. Whisking in a separate bowl ensures a smooth dressing.
