SWEET AND SOUR PASTA SALAD



Sweet and Sour Pasta Salad image

This has been made by my family for years; not sure where it came from. Great for cookouts or picnics since there is no mayo. Best if made the day before to let flavors blend. Serve with your favorite chicken, pork, or beef as a refreshing side dish. You can substitute red, yellow, or orange peppers for the green to add extra color to this dish.

EASY PASTA SALAD WITH SWEET AND SOUR DRESSING



Easy Pasta Salad with Sweet and Sour Dressing image

I used to make the dressing at a restaurant I worked in years ago. I liked it so much, I tried it on pasta, not just spinach sald. It is great. If you don't have the wine vinegar, the taste will be different, but use ANY vinegar you have-I have in a pinch used white and cider or balsamic and they worked just as well. You can also...
