I tried it and i think sugar added a perfect flavor to it. its become one of my fav salads now.
@sidra: Dear Sidra Sugar will serve two purposes: 1. It will balance the flavor of vinegar and ketchup. It wont have dominanting flavor. You Can reduce the quantity or even eliminate it. 2. It will add shine to salad, because we will caramelize it before pouring on pasta
