8 ounces dry cavatappi
quarter of a red onion, minced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or fresh chives
1 ear of corn, husked and kernels cut from the cob (about 1 cup)
1 medium zucchini, cut into a small dice


Directions:
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.

Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, cider vinegar, sugar, mustard, drained red onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper until smooth.
