Step 1
Start by bringing a generous pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once boiling, add the bow-tie pasta and let it cook for approximately 12 minutes, stirring occasionally until it reaches that perfect al dente texture.

In a spacious salad bowl, combine the cooled pasta with sliced cucumber, sliced onion, and a sprinkle of dried dill.

Gently toss the ingredients together to create a harmonious blend.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, whisk together white vinegar, sugar, water, vegetable oil, prepared mustard, salt, and black pepper until the sugar and salt dissolve completely, creating a delightful dressing.

Drizzle this flavorful concoction over the pasta mixture and toss lightly to ensure every ingredient is beautifully coated.

For the best flavor experience, cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving, allowing the ingredients to meld together into a refreshing dish that’s perfect for any occasion.
