This all-American pasta salad gets a healthy boost from summer's vegetable bounty. Don't limit yourself to just tomatoes, corn and zucchini -- string beans and cucumber could also find a happy home here.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cavatappi and cook according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, soak the onion in cold water for 5 minutes and then drain. 
  3. Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, cider vinegar, sugar, mustard, drained red onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper until smooth.
  4. Add the cooked cavatappi, tomatoes, dill, corn and zucchini to the dressing and stir to coat.
