Steps
Cook the rotini in a large pot of well-salted boiling water according to the package directions, until tender but still slightly firm. Drain thoroughly, rinse under cold water to stop the cooking, and cool completely.
In a large bowl, add the cooled pasta, cubed cheddar cheese, diced bell pepper, diced dill pickles, chopped fresh dill, and diced onion.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, pickle juice, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth and evenly combined.
Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and fold gently with a large spoon or rubber spatula until every ingredient is coated without breaking up the cheese or vegetables.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour so the salad becomes thoroughly chilled and the pickle flavor infuses the dressing.
Before serving, stir the salad well and season to taste with salt and additional black pepper. If it seems dry after chilling, loosen it with a small splash of pickle juice or mayonnaise.
Notes
The transcript identifies the main mix-ins and directs refrigeration followed by seasoning before serving, but it does not provide written quantities. The ingredient amounts and dressing composition are reconstructed from the dish context and should be treated as estimates. Keep refrigerated and serve within 3–4 days.
