Recipe

SWEET AND SOUR SEASHELLS
Drain the marinade before serving this dish in order to lower the fat and sodium — but keep all the great taste.

Yield: 18 servings

1. Cook pasta in unsalted water, drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again. Stir in oil.

2. Transfer to 4-quart bowl. In blender, place sugar, vinegars, water, prepared mustard, salt, pepper, and pimento. Process at low speed for 15–20 seconds, or just enough so flecks of pimento can be seen. Pour over pasta.

3. Score cucumber peel with fork tines. Cut cucumber in half lengthwise, then slice thinly. Add to pasta with onion slices. Toss well.

4. Marinate, covered, in refrigerator for 24 hours. Stir occasionally.

5. Drain, and serve on lettuce.
