List of Ingredients




1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons oil

1 box ziti

1/4 cup milk

1 red onion, cut into 1/4-inch pieces

2 tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch pieces

2 small green peppers, cut into 1/4-inch pieces

6 sweet pickles, diced

1 large shallot, minced
DRESSING:
1/2 cup sour cream

1-1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 packets of beef bouillon

1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon sweet pickle juice

1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Chopped fresh dill for garnish


Recipe



1. Heat 4 quarts of water to boiling; add salt and oil. Stir in ziti. Return to boiling and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Rinse, drain and cool. Place ziti in a large bowl. Sprinkle with just enough milk to moisten, about 1/4 cup.

2. Reserve a small amount of each vegetable for garnish. Add the rest to the ziti with the shallot and pickle. Toss well.

3. To make dressing, in a medium bowl, combine the sour cream with the mayonnaise, bouillon, vinegar, pickle juice and 1/4 cup dill. Pour over ziti-vegetable mix. Toss well. Add salt and pepper to taste.

4. Serve chilled, garnished with vegetables and chopped dill.
