Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package small seashell pasta
2 cucumbers - peeled, quartered, and cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 green bell peppers, seeded and chopped into 3/4-inch pieces
1 (4 ounce) jar chopped pimento peppers
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook seashell pasta at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
2 Mix pasta, cucumbers, onion, green bell pepper, and pimento peppers in a large bowl.
3 Whisk tomato soup, sugar, vinegar, and oil together in a bowl until smooth; pour over pasta mixture. Stir to coat. Refrigerate 12 to 24 hours before serving, stirring occasionally.
