Instructions

Cook the rotini pasta according to package directions until al dente, then rinse under cold water to cool.
Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and cut it into thin slices. Set aside.
Thinly slice the onion, and soak it in a bowl of cold water for a bit to reduce its sharpness.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, sugar, salt, dill, and white vinegar until combined.
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients, mixing thoroughly. Refrigerate for 45 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra crunch, consider adding bell peppers or celery.
Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
This salad can be made a day ahead for even better flavor.
