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.

SWEET-SOUR PASTA SALAD

Fresh garden vegetables add color and crunch to this attractive salad. Its pleasant vinaigrette-type dressing is sparked with ground mustard and garlic. I like the look of the tricolor spirals, but you can substitute other pasta shapes or use what you have on hand. -Launa Shoemaker, Landrum, South Carolina

SWEET NOODLE SALAD



Sweet Noodle Salad image

Don't let the sweetened condensed milk throw you - it might seem like an odd ingredient for a pasta salad but it is delicious. I got this recipe from a church published cookbook so it is a tried and true recipe. Feel free to adjust the veggies or even add meat (diced ham, bacon, etc.) to make it a little heartier.
