Dill Pickle & Black Forest Pasta Salad

Leave a comment

This Dill Pickle and Black Forest Pasta Salad is a fantastic and easy recipe for any of those upcoming summer gatherings! 

I hope you give this light and tasty Summer pasta salad a try!

This is best served slightly chilled the day of vs the next day, because if it’s left in the fridge for to long it can become dry.

So if there is just the two of you please use the recipe adjuster here and make just enough for what you need.

Other than that this recipe is a winner as it’s not laddled with any high fat dressing.

Rather we are using a creamy plain yogurt and then adding some pickle juice, a touch of mayo, olive oil and spices that make it all come together very well.

What kind of Dill Pickle ? Pasta Salads have you tried in the past? Why not give this lighter version a try  this time.

This one is creamy enough to satisfy pretty much anyone, however is made lighter than the average pickle pasta salad you may find out there.

Since it’s mostly made with plain yogurt, dill pickle juice and just 1 tbsp of mayonnaise.

I much prefer using more yogurt over mayonnaise as it lightens up the dish and keeps me in better shape. 

Pickle Salad Perfection!

Notes: The colder the salad the better it taste, so try to chill it in the fridge for one at least one hour prior to serving.

Dill Pickle Potato Salad

Leave a comment

This Dill Pickle Potato Salad is made with garlicky dill pickles and it’s juices, egg, russet potatoes, mayonnaise, plain yogurt, dijon mustard and fresh dill. 

Let me tell you, this recipe is a sure WINNER!

This salad can be thrown together in no time at all.

I brought this to a potluck recently and obviously did not make enough to feed the 10 people there.

It was gone in no time at all, so if you’re wanting to prepare this for a group of 10 or more double it up, it’s easy to do so anyway.

Wanting to serve a larger crowd? Simply double up the ingredients! 

To make this vegetarian omit the mayo and eggs and use a vegetarian mayo.

Personally I like using Hellman’s mayo, it’s my favorite!
