  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon dried dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and gently toss to combine.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Even better if made a day ahead!
