Cool Cucumber Pasta Salad

Submitted by Teachermomkim

"I got this recipe from a good friend of mine several years ago. I always make it when my cucumbers are ready in the summer. It has a sweet & tangy flavor and the longer you leave the onions and cucumber set in the dressing the more they soak up the great taste! As for servings, I've never really measured but it makes a large bowl full. We usually have enough for 2 meals. Try it for yourself!"

Very good and easy to make. I used green onion and omitted the tomatoes. Great to take on picnics
