Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz rotini pasta
  • 1 English cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh dill
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Boil pasta in salted water until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  2. Whisk together yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Toss cooled pasta, cucumber, and red onion with the dressing in a large bowl.
  4. Top with fresh dill and serve immediately or chill 30 minutes.

Notes

If you like a tangier dressing, add an extra squeeze of lemon. The salad is meant to be served cold, and chilling it for even 30 minutes makes the flavors meld nicely.
