A refreshing and flavorful pasta salad featuring shrimp, fresh herbs, and a creamy dressing.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and let cool.
Rinse the pasta under cold water after cooking to stop the cooking process and cool it down quickly.
Chop the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.
For uniformity, try to cut the vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked pasta, chopped vegetables, shrimp, and dill.
Ensure the shrimp is properly cooked and peeled before adding to the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and black pepper.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference before mixing it with the salad.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss until everything is well coated.
Use a large spoon or tongs to ensure the dressing is evenly distributed.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld together for a more delicious taste.
Serve the salad chilled, garnished with additional dill if desired.
Pair the salad with a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal.
