How To Make pasta salad with bacon and tangy sauce

Step 1

Salad: Place peppers, celery, bacon, eggs and cherry tomatoes in a large bowl. Sprinkle sugar over top. Stir to coat. Set aside.

Step 2

Cook macaroni for 8 minutes after adding to boiling water.(you want it al-dente) Drain macaroni-do not rinse; pour over vegetable and bacon mixture in the large bowl; the heat of the pasta will bring out the bacon flavor. Stir occasionally until mixture is cooled.
Step 3

Dressing: Combine all ingredients in a large measuring cup(I used a 4 cup measure. Mix all ingredients well to blend.
Step 4

Pour over macaroni mixture. Stir to coat evenly. Chill. Best served cold. Also serve with fresh fruit..
