This is a unique and simple pasta salad recipe I got from an old friend. Fresh vegetables such as grape tomatoes make a nice addition. Great for a summer picnic! Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta |
1/2 large onion, chopped |
1/2 large cucumber, sliced |
1/2 cup canola oil |
1/2 cup white vinegar |
1/2 cup white sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground mustard |
1 1/2 teaspoons dried parsley |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook penne at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Transfer to a large bowl.
2. Blend onion, cucumber, canola oil, vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, salt, mustard, parsley, and pepper in a food processor or blender until smooth, about 2 minutes.
3. Pour sauce over pasta; toss to coat. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
