   – 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
   – 1 cup sweet corn (frozen, thawed, or fresh)
   – 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped

   – 1/4 cup feta cheese (optional, for non-vegan)

   For the Dressing:
   – 1/4 cup olive oil
   – 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
   – 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

   – Salt and pepper to taste

   Instructions:
   1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool it down.

   4. Pour the dressing over the pasta salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
   5. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Let the salad sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
   6. Enjoy your fresh and vibrant dill pasta salad!
