Amish Macaroni Salad

shared by Patty H. (very tasty and easy)

Ingredients
1/2 pound elbow macaroni (approx. 2 cups dry)
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup green pepper, chopped (roughly half of a small pepper)
1/2 cup carrot, peeled and grated (roughly 1 carrot)
1/4 cup onion, chopped (roughly half of a small onion)

Instructions

1. Cook the macaroni as directed. Drain and cool.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, mustard, and paprika (to taste).
3. In a large bowl, mix together the macaroni, green pepper, carrot, and onion
4. Add the dressing.
5. Dust with paprika on top, if desired. 5. Cover and chill at least 2 hours (overnight is best). (Note: the original recipe called for 2 T. of vinegar, 2 T. sugar, 2 T. mustard and 1 tsp. paprika but I halved it when I made it and it had plenty of flavor without the extra )
