Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups bow tie pasta cooked according to the box
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons dill
  • 4 baby carrots chopped
  • ¼ cup halloumi chopped
  • 4 dill pickle slices chopped
  • 2 tablespoons tomatoes chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
  • pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package (about 8-10 minutes). Drain the pasta and use cold water to rinse the pasta until it is no longer warm.
  • Chop the halloumi into small cubes, then sear until it's sweating and golden brown - about 5-10 minutes on medium-high heat.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, dill, and a pinch of salt. Add the chopped carrots and dill pickles to this sauce.
  • Pour the sauce over the cooled pasta and stir.
  • Stir in the seared halloumi and chopped tomatoes. Adjust seasoning with additional salt, if desired.
  • Chill for at least one hour for best results, or enjoy immediately. Before serving, sprinkle with fresh parsley for an added burst of flavor. Enjoy!
