Monica's Pasta Salad

This is a super pasta salad recipe that I got from a church friend. What's unique about it is the dressing - it's slightly sweet like the classic cucumber stuff, but it has way more seasoning. I'm sharing my tweaked version because the original had far too much dressing (and sugar) for the amount of salad.

Salad (mix together):
1 pkg tri-color rotini pasta, cooked and drained
desired vegetable ingredients, suggested:
diced cucumber
grape tomatoes
green/red peppers
sliced black olives

Dressing (whisk together):
1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup canola oil
1 tsp each: parsley, seasoned salt, garlic powder
1/2 tsp each: pepper, salt

Pour dressing over salad mixture and refrigerate several hours or overnight before serving.

Serves: 10-12
