Today, by request, I am making this again for school & the teacher’s luncheon. I am following the adjustments I have made in the past. See my previous remarks in the comments section.

I made this for the back to school luncheon we provided for the teachers & staff at my kids’ school yesterday! It was super easy to make and DELICIOUS!
I added an addt’l half cucumber & a little red onion for more color. I also used less sugar but, I am sure it depends on the slaw dressing you start with. I also didn’t use all the dressing – probably 12 oz. or so but, again – I just adjusted slightly to my taste.
This is definitely a keeper! Thanks for sharing an original twist to a summertime staple!

SUCH a great recipe! Perfect for summer!! Obviously cucumbers can get a little boring, and this is a lot more interesting than simply chucking them into a ranch dip. Also, bowtie is a great pasta to use in this recipe!

FYI: For the “slaw dressing” I deducted the white sugar and cider vinegar from the above recipe and mixed the following ingredients into a bowl to add to the cukes and pasta:
1 c mayonnaise
TB sugar
TB honey
1/4 c cider vinegar
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp paprika
1/2 – 1 TB Old Bay seasoning (depending on how zesty you like it!)
