Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Transfer the cooked pasta to a large mixing bowl.

Add diced dill pickles, diced red onion, diced bell pepper, diced celery, and chopped fresh dill to the bowl with the cooked pasta.

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, pickle juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.

Pour the dressing over the pasta salad ingredients in the large mixing bowl.

Gently toss the pasta salad with the dressing until everything is evenly coated.

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning or pickle juice if needed.

If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the pasta salad for added flavor and texture.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Before serving, give the pasta salad a quick stir and taste again, adjusting seasoning if necessary.

Serve the Dill Pickle Pasta Salad chilled as a refreshing side dish or light meal. Enjoy!
