Time

Yield

8 to 10 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

2 cups thinly sliced cucumbers (about 1 medium)
1/2 cup chopped onions
8 oz. pasta (I like bowties; you can use mostaccioli, etc.)

Dressing

1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup white vinegar
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. black pepper
1-1/2 tsp. garlic salt

Instructions

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse. Set aside to cool a bit. Add cucumbers and onions. Whisk together the sugar, oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and garlic salt. Pour over pasta-vegetable mix and combine thoroughly. Tastes best if it chills together for a couple of hours before serving.

Author's Comments

I'm not a big fan of pasta salad, but even I like this one. I tweaked it to my taste from a recipe in my treasured "Thymes and Seasons" cookbook by the Illinois Valley Herb Guild.
