A cool, creamy, and refreshing side dish that combines crisp cucumbers, pasta, and a classic dressing!
Easy Cucumber Pasta Salad
My Grandma Smith was known for her Creamy Cucumber Salad. Every time we spent time with her at our cabin over the summer, she would make it for us! Although, as kids at the time, I didn’t appreciate onions so I picked them out. Now I don’t mind them!
This Creamy Cucumber Pasta Salad reminds me of that dish! And the best part is, a friend of mine recommended this recipe to me! She found it over at Spend with Pennies! I love this super creative variation of a nostalgic recipe!
If you like side salads as much as my family does, then I think you’ll love this Pesto Tortellini Pasta Salad, Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad, Ranch Pasta Salad, and Frito Corn Salad, too!
