Not so Typical Macaroni Salad

With an abundance of fresh yellow, orange and red peppers try this wonderful macaroni salad tonight.
Ingredients:
2 cups of uncooked small macaroni
2 stalks of celery
1/2 finely chopped yellow or white onion
1/2 of a yellow, orange and red pepper
1/4 cup of grated carrots
1/2 cup of mayonnaise
1/8 cup distilled white vinegar
1/3 cup white sugar
1 heaping Tablespoon of prepared yellow mustard
salt to taste

Directions:
Bring as large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.  Add the macaroni, cook until tender no more then 8 minutes.  Drain, rinse and run under cold water.

In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, mustard and salt.  Stir in the vegetables and macaroni.  Refrigerate for at least four hours before serving.  This salad gets better with time.  We love it on day two and three the best.
