Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb elbow macaroni, cooked al dente
1 c white vinegar
1 c white sugar
1 c finely chopped bell pepper
1 Tbsp celery seed
2 or 3 big globs of mayo

Steps:

  • 1. Heat vinegar and sugar on stove until sugar is dissolved; cool.
  • 2. Toss vinegar sugar mixture with macaroni. Refrigerate in freezer bags for several hours to allow it to set. *NOTE* After soaking, it's possible for there to be some excess sugar/vinegar mixture, if you find it to be very soupy you can toss it into a colander for a minute to drain some off.
  • 3. Toss macaroni with peppers and celery seed. Add mayo to taste. Yummmo!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add some of my own personal touches. I usually add some chopped hard-boiled eggs and a bit of Dijon mustard.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my macaroni salad turned out too dry. I think I might have overcooked the macaroni.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.
