01
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once it’s boiling, add the rotini and cook until it’s tender but still has a bit of a bite—about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta and transfer it to a big bowl.

Step 2
Next, toss in the broccoli, mayonnaise, olives, pickles, tomatoes, pickle juice, fresh dill, dried dill, and mustard. Give everything a good mix so the flavors come together.

Step 3
Pop the salad in the fridge and let it chill for at least 3 hours. Before serving, give it another stir to make sure everything’s nicely combined.
