Beat the heat with these Summer Treats
When the Tourney Group has a break from selling houses we loves to whip up a full meal including dessert. Here are some of our favourite summer dishes for you to try!
Dill Pickle Pasta Salad -
Pasta Salad is a staple side dish at every BBQ. Why not change it up a bit with Dill Pickles??
FILLING
3 Cups of Shell Pasta (uncooked)
3/4 Pickles (I go for the extra garlic)
2/3 Cup Cheddar Cheese
DRESSING
2 Tbsp Fresh Dill
3 Tbsp White Onion
2/3 Cup Mayonnaise
1/3 Cup Sour Cream
2/3 Cup Cheddar Cheese
3/4 Pickle Juice
1/8 Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper
Dash of Franks’ Hot Sauce
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Directions:
- Boil the pasta until al dente. Drain pasta and run cold water over it to stop the cooking.
- Toss the cold pasta with 1/2 cup of pickle juice and set aside. Drain and discard pickle juice.
- Chop the pickles and cheese into bite sized bits
- Combine the dressing ingredients and mix well.
- Add the pickles, cheese, and dressing into the pasta and stir to combine.
