Fresh garden vegetables add color and crunch to this attractive salad. Its pleasant vinaigrette-type dressing is sparked with ground mustard and garlic. I like the look of the tricolor spirals, but you can substitute other pasta shapes or use what you have on hand. -Launa Shoemaker, Landrum, South Carolina Ingredients:
1 package (16 ounces) tricolor spiral pasta |
1 medium red onion, chopped |
1 medium tomato, chopped |
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped |
1 medium green pepper, chopped |
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley |
dressing: |
1-1/2 cups sugar |
1/2 cup white vinegar |
1 tablespoon ground mustard |
1 teaspoon salt, optional |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse with cold water. Place in a large serving bowl. Stir in the onion, tomato, cucumber, green pepper and parsley; set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the dressing ingredients. Cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Serve with a slotted spoon. Yield: 16 servings.
