This is a tangy pasta salad that is quick to make and tasty to eat. It's great as a side dish or a light meal. I first made this for my husband and myself because it was too hot in our apartment to cook for any length of time and too hot to want a hot meal!

  • While pasta cooks, mix mayonnaise, pickles, mustard, vinegar, sugar, pepper, celery salt, and garlic powder together in a bowl. Stir dressing into cold noodles until fully coated. Add additional pickle chunks to taste. Serve chilled.

Cook's Notes:

You can use whatever kind of pasta you have.

You can always put the noodles in the freezer for a couple of minutes to cool them faster.

We love this salad. I made it for a dinner party to go with my smoked ribs and everyone raved about the flavor. In the past 3 weeks I have made it 3 more times and my wife and I get into it all the time. It is one of our favorite dishes I make! Read More

I had a hankering for a pasta salad but didn't want a lot of ingredients or it to be sweet. This more than fit the bill! I made it as written and have been enjoying it. It does dry out after a day in the fridge, but adding a bit more mayo takes care of that. Read More

6.9.18 This is a nice pasta salad the dill pickles are the star. So many pasta salads taste too mayonnaise-y to me but the addition of the red wine vinegar gives this some tang. In the future I ll probably add a few chopped onions and cut back the basic salt but increase the celery salt a bit since that s a nice flavor in this salad. Garnished with some sliced olives for a little pop of color. notimetocook thanks for sharing your recipe we enjoyed it! Read More

I also added cheese black olives hard boiled eggs and potatoes- couldn t resist. I used more pickle juice in the dressing too. This recipe is a great base to add whatever you prefer in addition! Read More
