Zippy's mac salad recipe

Step 1

Cook the elbow macaroni until it's firm but not too soft, following the instructions on the package.

Step 2

Drain the cooked macaroni and rinse it under cold water to cool it down quickly and stop the cooking process.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Add some tomatoes sliced, chopped onion, Bell peppers, and hard-boiled eggs to the bowl with the cooked macaroni.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the macaroni mixture and gently toss everything together until it's evenly coated.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld well.

Step 7

Just before serving, give the salad a good stir and taste it to see if you need to adjust the seasoning. Enjoy your chilled macaroni salad.
