Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups cooked pasta (fussili/rigatoni is nice)
2 tomatoes, diced
2 green onions, sliced thin-diced (any onion is good-i usually add about 1/4 cup or more)
1 medium green pepper, diced
1/2 red pepper (optional)
1 medium cucumber, diced
1 cup celery, diced (optional)
2/3 cup white sugar
1/2 cup oil (light is best-use your favourite )
1/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tsp seasoning salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp paprika

Directions:

Mix the cooked pasta (once it has cooled) with the diced vegetable.
In a seperate bowl (a large measuring cup works well) combine the ingredients for the dressing.
Stir until the sugar is dissolved and it is mixed well, a whisk works well.
Pour over the pasta and mix well.
Put in the fridge a few hours.
T's even more tastier the next day.
This salad is great for BBQ's and to bring to a cottage.
ENJOY!
Note: the optional vegetables add flavour and taste, they are great for colour also.
