Instructions

Cook the rotini pasta until al dente according to package instructions, then rinse it under cold water to cool.
Halve the cucumber lengthwise, scoop out the seeds with a spoon, and slice it thinly.
Soak the thinly sliced onion in a bowl of cold water to reduce its sharpness.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, sugar, salt, dill, and white vinegar until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and gently toss them together. Refrigerate for 45 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra crunch, consider adding bell peppers or celery.
This salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but it’s best enjoyed fresh.
Adjust the seasoning according to your taste, adding more dill or vinegar as desired.
