Best Cool Cucumber Pasta Salad Recipes
COOL CUCUMBER PASTA SALAD
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!

COOL CUCUMBER PASTA SALAD
Ive adapted this recipe that originally came from Taste Of Home. I found that when the cucumber crop comes to fruition, you just cant use them fast enough! So, I tweaked the recipe to freeze the cucumber part and be able to make this pasta salad when ever you like! It is so good and very easy to transport to gatherings without...

Steps:
- 1. TO MAKE THIS TO EAT RIGHT AWAY: Cook the pasta al dente. Drain and rinse in cold water. Place in large bowl: stir in oil,cucumbers and onion.
- 2. Combine remaining ingredients; pour over salad and toss. Cover and chill for at least 3-4 hours.
- 3. TO MAKE THIS TO FREEZE AND ASSEMBLE LATER: Here is what I changed from about recipe so that you can freeze the cucumber part and add the rest of ingredients later: I combine the cucumbers,onion,sugar and vinegar. (leave out the water if freezing) Then you simply take this mixture out of the freezer,Do not drain the frozen cucumber mixture. let it thaw, and add the rest of ingredients.
- 4. Very refreshing and different! If you freeze it, you can have the taste of summer any time you wish! When I do make it and not freeze it, I do not add as much water as listed. I find that the cucumbers have plenty of water after sitting in fridge for 4 hours. Add water to suit your taste if you make it to eat right away.If I froze it, I dont add the water at all.
COOL CUCUMBER PASTA SALAD
This is a great summer salad that tastes super with any grilled meat. The longer it marinates the better! The ingredient are things I normally have in the house so it's easy to whip together. It from a '97 TOH and it has become a favorite at this house. The cooking time listed would be cooking the pasta. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
