Ingredients:

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

Preparation:

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