healthy homemade macaroni salad


I just have to warn you that I like my macaroni salad on the dry side (I am not a mayo person), so add more mayo if you really like it.


1 (14.5 oz) pkg macaroni elbows (I used Ronzoni Smart Taste)
2 and 1/2 Cups low fat mayo
2 T cider vinegar
1 Tbsp sugar
1 and 1/2 C shredded carrot
1 and 1/2 C chopped celery
2 tsp mustard
salt and black pepper to taste
1 tsp onion powder

Cook pasta according to directions and drain, do not rinse (dressing will not stick as well). While pasta is cooking mix, mayo, vinegar, sugar, mustard, onion powder, salt and pepper. Toss dressing with warm pasta (absorbs some of mayo). Fold in carrots and celery.
