- 1 (8 ounce) package bow tie pasta
- 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill
- 3/4 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the bow tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and rinse several times with cold water until pasta is cool.
- Stir pasta, cucumber, onion, and dill in a salad bowl. Whisk vinegar, sugar, water, vegetable oil, mustard, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl until sugar and salt have dissolved. Pour dressing over the pasta mixture and toss lightly to coat with dressing. Let chill for 2 hours before serving.
