(original recipe by Dorothy Bayes found on TasteOfHome.com)

Makes 8 servings.

2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni 

1 cup mayonnaise

2 to 3 Tbsp. sweet pickle relish

2 tsp. sugar

3 tsp. red wine vinegar

¾ tsp. ground mustard

¼ tsp. salt

¼ tsp. pepper

¼ cup chopped celery

⅓ cup chopped carrot

½ cup chopped onion (red preferred, or you can use 4 to 6 green onions)

2 to 3 whole roasted red peppers, chopped

• Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain and rinse with cold water; cool completely.
• For dressing: in a small bowl, combine the mayo, relish, sugar, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper; mix well.
• In a large bowl, combine cooled macaroni, celery, carrot, onion, and roasted red pepper; add dressing a bit at a time (you might not use it all, depending on how creamy you want your salad to be) and toss gently to coat.
• Refrigerate until serving; you may wish to garish with paprika before serving.
