Serves 6-8
Cucumbers add a clean crunch and come together with dill and capers to make a bright and refreshing pasta salad.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for the required time.
Once al dente, drain and run under cool water.
Toss with a small amount of olive to avoid sticking and set aside.
Grate cucumber onto a clean kitchen towel.
Once all cucumber is grated, ring out the excess moisture of the cucumber over a small bowl. Set both items aside.
In a food processor or blender, add all ingredients and blend until it becomes a well combined, bright green dressing.
If needed when blending, add some of the removed cucumber juice to help bring the mixture together.
Adjust seasoning level if needed and add dressing to the bowl of cooked pasta along with grated cucumber.
Toss to combine and test seasoning levels again to see if more salt and pepper is needed.
