This is an excellent macaroni salad that everyone in my family has made over the years, and now I make. We have this with dinner at least once a week or every two weeks. It’s a hit with everyone, as there’s ketchup and sugar in it for the kids. Just try it; you’ll LOVE it!
Ingredients
- 1 cup canola oil
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 2/3 cup ketchup
- ½ cup white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons salt

- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup chopped cucumber
Directions
Step 1
Whisk canola oil, sugar, ketchup, vinegar, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Set aside to let the flavors blend for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain. Rinse with cold water to cool; drain.
Step 3
Combine cooled pasta, tomatoes, onion, green bell pepper, and cucumber in a bowl.
Step 4
Drizzle the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss to coat.
Step 5
