This is a great salad to take for potlucks or to serve for a large crowd. This makes enough to serve 20 people, but the recipe can be doubled or tripled for larger events.
2 pounds of macaroni
4 stalks of celery, finely chopped
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 green bell peppers, finely chopped
1/2 c carrots, shredded
Dressing:
16 oz mayonnaise
1 c sugar
1/4 c mustard
1/2 c white vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
1. Boil macaroni in large stock pot with salted water according to package directions. Rinse under cold water.
2. Cut vegetables into small, pieces. Can be done ahead of time.
3. Stir dressing ingredients together.
4. Add vegetables to dressing and stir well.
5. Add pasta and stir well. Cover and chill for at least two hours, up to 48 hours.
6. Stir before serving.
Note: If I will be transporting the salad or making it ahead of time. I will make the dressing in a jar and add half to 3/4's at the time I mix it up and the remaining dressing just before serving.
