Summer Cucumber Pasta Salad
Ingredients
  • 1 (8 ounce) package bow tie pasta
  • 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill
  • 3/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Boil a substantial container of salted water until it reaches its full temperature. Prepare the pasta by submerging it in the boiling liquid, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until it reaches your desired level of doneness, typically around 12 minutes. Remove the pasta from the water with a slotted spoon and rinse it multiple times under cold running water until it has cooled down completely.
2
Combine the cooked pasta, sliced cucumber, chopped onion, and chopped fresh dill in a large serving bowl.
3
Mix together the vinegar, sugar, water, vegetable oil, mustard, salt, and black pepper in a separate container until the sugar and salt have completely dissolved. Pour this dressing over the pasta mixture, gently tossing everything together to coat it evenly with the sauce. Allow the salad to rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.
