Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook rotini pasta according to package directions until al dente.
- Drain pasta and immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool and drain well.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, pickle juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Add the cooled pasta to the bowl with the dressing and toss to coat.
- Fold in the chopped dill pickles, cubed cheddar cheese, diced onion, and fresh dill. Stir until evenly distributed.
- Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
- Give the salad a final toss before serving. Add a splash of pickle juice if it seems too dry.
