I stumbled into this perfectly pickled pasta salad quite by accident. I was Googling for pasta salads and saw a recipe for dill pickle salad. It sounded interesting so I clicked on the link to Delish and found the recipe was behind a paywall. I could see part of the recipe, but not all of it. I saw that it called for eggs, pickles, green peppers and was cut off, but I was intrigued.
However, the idea of eggs, green pepper, OLIVES and dill pickles did not sound appealing to me for some reason. I decided to use bread and butter pickles instead – mostly because that’s what I had on hand since one of my kids ate all the baby dill pickles in one sitting. Still, I wasn’t sure how the eggs were going to play out, but I’ll try anything once.
The olive addition was another weird combo to me, but I love olives and decided it was worth a shot. I’m glad I did because this is a delightful pasta salad.
Some how it all works together – producing a different yet delicious pasta salad. I promise you of you bring this to the pot-luck there won’t be any leftovers.
