How to Make Cucumber Pasta Salad

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool quickly. Set aside.
  2. While the pasta cooks, prepare the cucumber: Peel and thinly slice or dice 2 medium cucumbers. Add them to a large bowl.
  3. Finely chop 1/2 cup red onion and add it to the bowl with the cucumbers.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the bowl with the cucumbers and red onion.
  6. Pour the dressing over the pasta and vegetables and gently toss to combine.
  7. If desired, add 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill or other herbs.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. This salad tastes even better the next day!
