    MAKING DRESSING: Measure out 2 cups of mayo in a bowl, I use my large 4 cup Pyrex measuring cup. Pour 1 capful of vinegar and 2 tsp of sugar and mix together. Stir it all together using a wisk, gradually adding a little bit of water at a time until you have the consistancy of pudding.
  • 6
    Pour the dressing into the pot and mix it well into the pasta... Pour into a large bowl and you can add another sliced hard boiled egg to decorate the top, if you wish Enjoy
