Creamy Cucumber Pasta Salad

 

Today’s Sunday Funday is celebrating a mid-autumn festival.

To celebrate, I thought I’d make a final pasta salad, using up the last of the cucumbers from the garden.  This salad is simple and bright, reminiscent of Cucumbers and Cream or German Cucumber Salad, two other great cucumber sides!  

It is a great side dish to bring to those last cookouts of the season!

Creamy Cucumber Pasta Salad

1 English cucumber, peeled and sliced

3 tablespoons mayo

3 tablespoons sour cream

1 tablespoon vinegar

¾ teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried dill

Cook and drain the pasta.  Cool to room temperature.

Add the cucumbers to the pasta.  Whisk together remaining ingredients.  Stir the dressing in, then cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours.

Before serving, taste, adjusting seasoning as needed.
