List of Ingredients




1 lb. uncooked small seashell macaroni (9 C. cooked)
2 T. vegetable oil
3/4 C. sugar
1/2 C. wine vinegar
1/2 C. cider vinegar

3 T. prepared mustard
black pepper, to taste
1 2-oz. jar sliced pimentos

2. Transfer to 4-quart bowl.
3. Place sugar, vinegars, water, prepared mustard, pepper and pimento in blender.
