This recipe is so easy and delicious. Especially refreshing for pot lucks in the summer (no mayo). Have made this recipe for years. I always add a small jar of pimentos and it adds a little something extra. Everyone always loves this!

Great pasta salad recipe. The sweet & sour dressing is so good. Cucumbers & onions really make this a summer salad. Have had many requests for this recipe.

Considering the fridge life of this salad, I made the whole thing & we managed to stretch it out all of 3 days! In a word, DELICIOUS as a salad, & WINNER as a recipe! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed for one ofmy adoptees in this fall's round of Pick A Chef]
