Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, rinsed and spun dry
1 cup loosely packed fresh fine dill sprigs, rinsed and spun dry
1 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves ( preferably flat-leafed), rinsed and spun dry
1 cup coarsely chopped scallion
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup buttermilk
1 lb small penne rigata ( ridged , quill-shaped pasta) or other macaroni
1 seedless cucumber , halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

Directions:

In a blender or food processor purée the mint, the dill, the parsley, and the scallion with the mayonnaise, the buttermilk, and salt to taste until the dressing is smooth. In a kettle of boiling salted water cook the penne until it is tender and drain it in a colander. Refresh the pasta with under cold water and drain it well. In a large bowl toss the pasta with the dressing and the cucumber and chill the salad, covered, for 1 hour. The salad may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
