I had such high hopes for this salad. What a letdown. It was definately lacking. I will not make it again.

This pasta salad was okay, but I agree with others who thought it was bland. I omitted the salt, but otherwise followed the recipe as written. It is definitely missing something. I don't think I'd make this again, but thanks anyway.

Good base - add 1 clove of garlic, 1 extra TBSP of white vinegar and 1/4 extra tsp black pepper. Gave it more zip. It does increase in flavor as it sits so don't panic!

Very nice with the texture of cucumber and pasta. I deseeded the tomatoes and patted the cukes with a paper towel before chopping. I let it sit for 4 hours before serving. Was not watery at all and had plenty of dill flavor.

This was really good. I used 2% Lactaid milk instead of skim milk and it was a little watery so don't do what I did. I also used canned chopped tomatoes instead of fresh and they were still good.

I use this recipe all the time for a good base recipe. I usually add some red onion, partially for flavor, partially for color. I also sometimes add mayo and a bit more dill. I've also added lemon pepper and garlic salt. I use sweet grape tomatoes, quartered to add a bit of sweet flavor too.

A good alternative to mayo based sauce if you are trying to eat lighter, which is why I tried it. I added celery, onion, and red pepper in addition to everything else. It was okay, but on the bland side.

I took this to Christmas lunch at my mother's and it was a hit! Some members of the family thought it could use more salt. My husband and I loved the fresh taste of the dill and cucumber dressing. We have already started thinking up more uses for it. You could use it for a dip for vegs, as a side sauce for salmon OR just make more of the pasta salad. Yum! Definitely 5 stars.....

If you are lucky enough to live where there is Dorothy Lynch Salad dressing, I suggest doing this instead of the published dressing mix. Way easy and delicious, also attractive red tint to the salad.

I made this for a bbq and it was terrible. The sour cream was so overpowering. I had doubled the recipe so maybe the scaling was off, but this is definately not something I would make again.

Excellent base recipe. I upped the amount of dill by half again, a few leaves of fresh oregano chiffonade, a heavy pinch of kosher salt, and added a dash of cayenne pepper. Absolutely delicious.

I love this recipe! A friend made this for me once and I had to search to get the recipe. I make it with cole slaw dressing and sour cream (have to mix to taste). It's a nice light pasta salad with a delicate taste, goes great with BBQ.
