Ingredients:  
for the salad:
1 lb. elbow macaroni, prepared al dente/firm
2 large cucumbers (any type)
1 small onion, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic

Prepare macaroni according to package directions for al dente or firm pasta. Drain well and rinse under cold water until pasta is cold. Drain well a second time and transfer pasta to a large mixing bowl or food container with a tight fitting lid. Peel cucumbers, split them in half horizontally and remove all the seeds. Slice cucumber halves into 1/2 inch thick pieces. Add them to the macaroni. Stir to combine. Toss in the onion and garlic. Mix so everything is evenly incorporated.

for the dressing:
1 cup sour cream (not low fat, and not yogurt)
1 cup real mayonnaise
3 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 Tablespoons dill pickle juice OR white vinegar
1/2 cup freshly grated OR powdered Parmesan cheese
3 Tablespoons sugar
3 Tablespoons fresh or dried dill (after making this, I would use less)
1 teaspoon Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Place all dressing ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour dressing over macaroni salad. Mix well. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
