1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or fresh chives
1 ear of corn, husked and kernels cut from the cob (about 1 cup)

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cavatappi and cook according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.

Meanwhile, soak the onion in cold water for 5 minutes and then drain.
