Special Macaroni Salad

Jon's Grandma Kay was trying to get rid of some cookbooks last summer at the lake. I looked through them & this was one of the recipes I picked out. Definite keeper!

16 oz cooked macaroni
10 1/2 oz can condensed tomato soup
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup vegetable oil (I have never added it)
2 cukes, pared and diced
2 green peppers, seeded and diced
1 medium onion, diced
4 oz jar of drained pimiento

Drain macaroni. Combine soup, oil, sugar, vinegar & macaroni. Chill 24 hours. Add cukes, peppers, onion & pimiento. Stir to mix. Garnish with green pepper rings if desired.
