Recipe is very easy and great to make for a large crowd or to bring to the cottage or a BBQ. It takes less than 30 minutes to make. It is very healthy and colourful and everyone loves it! This recipe came from my mother-inlaw. All my friend have asked for the recipe and all find it very tasty and easy to make.
Ingredients:
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 oil)
1/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
