Ingredients 

• 1 long english cucumber
• ½ lb medium sized pasta (such as penne or rotini)
• ½ sweet white onion

Dressing

• ½ cup sour cream
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• pepper to taste

Instructions

Combine all dressing ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.

Thinly slice onion and place in a bowl of cold water. (see note)

Cook pasta al dente according to package directions. Run under cold water to stop cooking.

Cut cucumber in half lengthwise and remove seeds using a spoon. Slice into thin slices.

Toss all ingredients in a large bowl. Let sit at least 40 minutes before serving.

NOTE: Soaking the onions in cold water is optional but takes a bit of the "bite" out of the onion.
