Recipe: Dill Pasta Salad

My mom and I have been trying to re-create a dill pasta salad (for YEARS) that we loved from Kenny Roger's Roasters, when we had one in Boise. She searched online and finally found a recipe, which she edited and perfected. I thought I'd share it with everyone. It's a refreshing salad that's perfect for summertime. We're actually making it for a family event this coming weekend.

Dill Pasta Salad

Salad:
12 oz uncooked fancy pasta (we tried it once with cheese tortellini & it was fab)
3 cups sliced cucumber
3 cups broccoli
2 cups tomatoes (or halved cherry tomatoes)
1 cup chopped onion

Dressing:
1 cup light sour cream
1 cup light mayonnaise
1/2 cup skim milk
3 tsp dried dill weed
1 tsp ground pepper
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp season salt (adds sooo much flavor)
2 Tbsp vinegar

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse with cold water. In large bowl, combine pasta with remaining salad ingredients.
In bowl, stir together dressing ingredients. Pour dressing over salad; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Serves 8.
