Pasta Salad w/sweet vinaigrette

2/3 cup Sepay Groves white vinegar

2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

¼ cup mustard

½ cup Sepay Groves evoo

1/3 cup sugar (would a sugar substitute do??)

4 cups chopped veggies

Cooked pasta

Cook pasta according to directions and set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, whisk first 5 ingredients together. Add pasta, and veggies, toss until well coated. Cover & refrigerate until ready to serve. Toss again just before.

We used to have this at all the potlucks when I worked at the hospital years ago. Add leftover meat for a quick meal.
