This Macaroni Dill Salad is the perfect pasta salad for summer. It’s made with tender macaroni noodles in a creamy mayonnaise and sour cream dressing. This salad takes just 10 minutes to prepare and is packed with crunchy veggies, fresh flavors, and just a hint of spice!

Macaroni salad is a classic recipe. Add a little dill and radish to it and you have brought it to a whole other dimension. It’s seriously tasty!

The creamy mayo and sour cream dressing envelopes the tender macaroni noodles and all that creaminess is broken up perfectly with the crunch and zip of fresh radishes, green pepper, and dill. It’s peppery and fresh and a hit at every single potluck or BBQ!

Macaroni Noodles: I use classic macaroni noodles, but feel free to swap them out for another small pasta shape.
Mayonnaise and Sour Cream: The base for our creamy dressing.
Dill: Use fresh dill for the best zip of flavor.
Dijon Mustard: Adds a kick of spice to the dressing.
Garlic: I recommend fresh garlic for the best flavor, but if all you have is pre-minced that will work too.
Veggies: I love to use radishes and green peppers to add some crunchy freshness to this recipe. Be sure to chop them small and evenly in size so they mix well with the pasta.
Seasonings: We’re keeping our spices simple with a little bit of cayenne, salt, and pepper.
