Ingredients :
- 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound elbow macaroni or other small pasta
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 ounces ham diced
- 4 hard-boiled eggs sliced
- 6 slices cooked bacon chopped
- 5 ribs celery sliced
- 1 cup broccoli chopped
- 1 red bell pepper stemmed, seeded and diced
- 4 scallions sliced
Directions :
- To make the dressing, in a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste (I like ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper).
- In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil. Add pasta and cook until tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well, rinse with cold water, and drain again.
- In a large bowl, add pasta, cheese, ham, bacon, eggs, celery, broccoli, pepper, and scallions. Drizzle with dressing to taste and stir to combine.
