Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Penne pasta
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1-2 medium cucumbers (peeled and thinly sliced)
- 1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 ½ cups granulated white sugar
- 1 cup water
- ¾ cup white vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 Tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
Instructions
- Cook the Penne pasta until al dente. Drain and rinse in cold water. Lightly coat the pasta with olive oil to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
- While the pasta cooks, slice the cucumbers and onion. Once cooled, put the pasta in a large bowl and add sliced vegetables.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Pour over salad and stir to coat. Cover and chill for 4 hours. Refrigerate leftovers.
