Method

Cooking Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 tsp of salt.

  2. 2

    Cook Macaroni

    Once the water is boiling, add 2 cups of elbow macaroni. Cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally.

  3. 3

    Drain Pasta

    Once cooked, drain the macaroni in a colander and rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool.

Preparing Vegetables

  1. 4

    Dice Vegetables

    While the pasta is cooking, dice the carrot, green bell pepper, and red onion into small pieces. Measure out 1 cup of frozen peas.

Making the Dressing

  1. 5

    Combine Dressing Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tbsp of mustard, 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp of sugar, 1 tsp of salt, and 1 tsp of black pepper. Mix well until smooth.

Combining the Salad

  1. 6

    Mix Everything Together

    In the bowl with the dressing, add the cooled macaroni, diced vegetables, and frozen peas. Stir until everything is well coated with the dressing.

  2. 7

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld. Before serving, garnish with 1 tbsp of chopped fresh parsley.
