Easy All-Purpose Summer Salad

I found this while browsing the web, and it is REALLY GOOD!

Easy All-Purpose Summer Salad

1 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp. vinegar
1 tbsp. prepared mustard
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
8 oz. cooked macaroni
1 cup sliced celery
1 cup chopped green pepper
¼ cup chopped onion

Combine first six ingredients in a large bowl; stir until smooth.
Add remaining ingredients, folding them in to cover with dressing.
Cover bowl and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

The reason it’s called an “all-purpose” salad is that the basic recipe
can be easily tweaked. For example…

Add tuna, chicken or ham and turn it into a main course entrée.
Substitute bite-size chunks of boiled potatoes for the macaroni
and you’ll have a great potato salad.
Skip the macaroni and add 6 chopped hard-cooked eggs for asuper egg salad.
