Description

A perfect side dish for a summer cookout.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Box, Elbow Macaroni Or Any Other Short Cut Pasta Of Choice
  • ½ cups Diced Celery
  • ¼ cups Minced Red Onion
  • ¼ cups Chopped Carrots
  • ¼ cups Green Bell Pepper, Chopped
  • ½ cups Roma Tomato, Seeded And Diced
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dry Mustard
  • ½ teaspoons Prepared Mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Cider Vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Salt (or More To Taste)

Preparation

Cook pasta according to package instructions then drain it and allow it to cool.

In a large bowl combine the macaroni, celery, onion, carrots, bell pepper and tomato. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, both types of mustard, sugar, vinegar, pepper and salt. Pour the dressing over the salad and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste if additional is needed. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Note: If making ahead you may need to add more mayonnaise as the pasta tends to soak it up.

@Jamie B I personally don’t think so. I love it the way it is. :)

This sounds good! Just wondering, does this have a fairly strong mustard flavor to it? My husband and I love mustard, but not so for a few guests that are coming.
