Since two packages of pasta are used in this recipe, I realize that this makes a really large batch of pasta salad. However, 1 cup of vinegar seems like an awful lot for this recipe. Whenever I make a vinaigrette dressing for a salad I usually do 1 part vinegar to 2 parts oil. But those little sweet peppers are always great in pasta salads - I use them all the time, and grow them in my garden since they are ready for picking quite quickly!
