Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package seashell pasta
1 cup mayonnaise
½ cup chopped deseeded dill pickles
¼ cup finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
½ teaspoon dried dill, or to taste
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 ounces diced Cheddar cheese

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add shells and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cold water, drain, and set aside.
Combine mayonnaise, pickles, onion, lemon juice, mustard, hot sauce, dill weed, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the cooled pasta and Cheddar cheese.

Cook's Note:

If you really like dilly flavors, you can also mix in some pickle juice. Chopped crispy bacon is also a tasty addition.
