“I LIVE for cold salads like this, and trust me, this pasta salad does not disappoint! My daughter and I ate multiple plates of this – it’s that good. I love the taste of the fresh dill and, of course, the pickles in there, and the bowtie pasta really made it look and taste great.”

    This looks so good! I just love pickles. I might try to Keto-fy it and give it a taste 🙂

    Sounds good to me except for the cheese. I made it but left out pimentos. I used Swiss cheese chopped into small squares and also choppped the pickles. Such a yummy idea!
