This dill pickle pasta salad salad has so many different colors that it looks as though there is confetti in it. There is a thousand variations to this salad! My mother adds ham and asparagus to it. I usually use tri-colored pasta in this salad to add even more color. Also I serve green onions on the side. All my friends and family love this so much. I don't think I would be invited on our annual family camping trip if I didn't bring this salad.

BROCCOLI-DILL PASTA



Broccoli-Dill Pasta image

Bryant Terry, an Oakland, Calif., chef with two young daughters, developed this recipe to make eating broccoli a treat. It worked: Blanched and puréed with lemon, garlic and a little of what he calls "umami powder," the broccoli transforms into a deeply flavorful vegan spread that's also highly adaptable. Thin it with pasta water and toss it with hot noodles, as seen here, or scrape it into a bowl as a dip for crudités. Spread it onto a thick piece of toast and cover it with sliced radishes, dill and crunchy salt. Use some to drown a softly poached egg, drizzle with olive oil, and eat with a spoon, or to dress warm white beans, then shower them with black pepper and grated cheese. Whatever you do, don't skip rinsing the broccoli with cold water after you blanch it; the step keeps the spread a vibrant green.

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings, plus extra umami powder

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 ounce dried porcini mushrooms, roughly chopped
3/4 cup whole raw cashews
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons raw pine nuts
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 medium head broccoli, cut into florets, thick stem reserved for another use
8 ounces dried pasta, such as spaghetti
1/2 cup loosely packed roughly chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/3 cup umami powder
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Fresh lemon juice, as needed

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
  • Prepare the umami powder: Grind the porcini in a spice grinder until pulverized, then transfer to a food processor. Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor and pulse until the mixture is broken down into a fine meal. Transfer to a jar or lidded container. (Makes about 1 1/4 cups.)
  • Prepare the pasta: Season the boiling water with salt, then add the broccoli and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the broccoli, then rinse with cold water and gently pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until tender.
  • While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce: In the same food processor (no need to wash it out), combine the cooked broccoli, dill, garlic and 1/3 cup umami powder; process until finely chopped. With the machine running, slowly pour in the oil. Scrape down the sides of the food processor with a spatula, and blend again, then season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water and drain the cooked pasta. Return the pasta to the pot, and toss with broccoli sauce, thinning with a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to help coat the pasta. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with a sprinkle of umami powder and fresh dill.

Tips for Making the Best Dill Vegetable Pasta Salad:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your pasta salad the best flavor. If possible, buy organic produce for the best quality and taste.
  • Cook the Pasta Al Dente: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy in the salad.
  • Let the Vegetables Cool: Before adding the vegetables to the pasta salad, let them cool slightly. This will prevent them from wilting and becoming soggy.
  • Use a Light Dressing: A light dressing will allow the flavors of the vegetables and pasta to shine through. A simple vinaigrette or yogurt-based dressing is a good option.
  • Add Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as dill, basil, or parsley, will add a pop of flavor and color to your pasta salad.
  • Chill the Salad Before Serving: Chilling the salad before serving will allow the flavors to meld and develop. It will also make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Dill vegetable pasta salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the best dill vegetable pasta salad that everyone will love.
