Dill Pickle Pasta Salad – A unique and delicious pasta salad made with a creamy homemade dressing, cheese, and crunchy dill pickles.

This post may include affiliate links. Please see my disclosure.

The summer is coming to an end but not before one more big potluck celebration for Labor Day weekend! This Dill Pickle Pasta Salad is the perfect dish to bring to any get-together.

It features all of the classic flavors of a dill pickle – cucumbers, vinegar, garlic, and dill – blended into a delicious, creamy pasta salad. The best part about this dish is that it can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to a week.

HOW TO MAKE DILL PICKLE PASTA SALAD

Before you get started, make sure you have the following ingredients:

  • Shell pasta
  • Dill pickles
  • Cheddar cheese
  • White onion
  • Fresh dill
  • Pickle juice
  • Miracle whip
  • Sour cream
  • Cayenne pepper
  • Salt 
  • Pepper

Once you’ve gathered all your ingredients, follow the steps below for a quick and easy summertime side dish. 

steps for making dill pickle pasta salad

  1. Pour ½ cup of pickle juice over the prepared pasta. Allow it to sit and absorb for 5-minutes, stirring frequently. 
  2. Add your sliced pickles, cubed cheddar cheese, onion, and dill. Stir everything together. 
  3. In a small bowl, whip the Miracle whip, sour cream, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, and ¼ cup of pickle juice together.
  4. Pour the Miracle whip sauce over the pasta. Stir until everything is combined.

WHAT OTHER INGREDIENTS COULD I ADD TO THE SALAD?

Feel free to get creative with your dill pickle pasta salad by adding in other ingredients that you enjoy. Common additions include chopped hard-boiled eggs, crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, and diced tomatoes.

Get creative and experiment until you find your perfect dill pickle pasta salad recipe!

WHAT OTHER PASTA COULD BE USED IN THE SALAD?

You can use any type of pasta for this salad, but shells tend to work best because they’ll hold onto the creamy dressing. If you aren’t able to get your hands on shell pasta, you could also use macaroni, rotini, fusilli, or another pasta.

HOW TO STORE DILL PICKLE PASTA SALAD

If you’re making the salad ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Before serving, let the salad come to room temperature so that the flavors can meld together.

If you’re taking the salad to a potluck or picnic, keep it chilled in a cooler until you’re ready to serve.
