Cucumber Dill Pasta Salad

There are lots of pasta salad recipes here but i don't see this particular variation. i love dill in most anything and combined with cucumbers and pasta, it's tart/creamy comfort food to me. for even more color & crunch, radishes could be added for another twist. you may need to adjust the mayo and sour cream amounts - i don't really measure it so i've guessed. i start with a large dollop of each then add till i get the texture and taste that i want. Update: thanks to the first reviewer for finding my typo with the salt; it has been corrected.
