Picnic Pasta Salad

 

It’s good.  It’s easy.  You make it the night before.  And no worrying about mayo in the sun. 

 

• 1 lb. mostaccoli, cooked (ribbed is best)
• 1 onion, chopped (I sometimes use part red)
• Large pepper or two, chopped
• 1 cucumber, chopped

 

Dressing:

 

• 1 Tbs. salt
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 2 Tbs. parsley
• ½ tsp. pepper
• 2 tsp. yellow mustard
• 1 ½ c. sugar (start with less and add to taste)
• 2 c. white vinegar

 

Mix all together and marinate overnight.
