Mostaccioli Salad is a wonderful cold salad to accompany any meal.  This salad has the perfect combination of vinegar and sugar that will delite and wake up the pallet of anyone.

This salad is the perfect recipe to grab if you are looking for a potluck item to bring to a party.  Since there is no mayonnaise in this recipe, there will be no fear of letting it sit out on a table.  It always brings rave reviews with everyone asking for the recipe.

 

 

 

 

 

To make this delicious salad, you will need: mostaccioli, oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, mustard, cherry tomatoes, parsley, green onions, and cucumbers.

First, you will want to boil the mostaccioli noodles according to directions on the box. Then place in a large bowl and pour oil over noodles.  Stir so that all noodles are covered with the oil, then drain the excess oil.IMG_7798a

Next, mix vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and mustard in a small bowl.  Combine thoroughly and set aside.

Now you will want to prep all of your vegetables and add to the mostaccioli noodles.

To prepare the cucumbers, I like to slice them in half the long way with ends removed.  Then take a spoon and scoop out all of the seeds in the middle.  I then cut into thin strips and chop.

Next, pour your liquid/spice mixture over the pasta and vegetables. Stir to thoroughly combine.

Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 days. You can eat this salad right away, but the longer it marinates, the more intense the flavor is. I would highly recommend letting the salad marinate for the suggested amount of time, it is well worth the wait!
