Description

Creamy Cucumber Pasta Salad is a refreshing, light dish perfect for summer picnics and potlucks. It combines the crispness of cucumber with the comforting texture of pasta, all tied together with a creamy, herb-infused dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta (such as fusilli or penne)
  • 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh dill, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, cucumber slices, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, white vinegar, sugar, and dried dill until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss to coat evenly.
  • Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Garnish with fresh dill before serving.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute the mayonnaise with more Greek yogurt.
  • Additions like olives or feta cheese can be included for extra flavor.
