So, to be fair to the person who submits a recipe, I always make it exactly as written the first time with the exception of the salt. (After reading through a recipe, I can determine if the salt called for is too much or too little). Once I've made it the first time, if I decide to make it again, the next time is when I will make changes if I want to. With this particular recipe I admit I just wasn't able to follow the recipe exactly the first time because green bell peppers don't agree with my stomach, so I used red. And I honestly detest Miracle Whip, so I used mayo. Everything else was the same. I did enjoy the recipe, but the next time I made a couple small changes. Not in the ingredients, but the amounts.<\/p>

So good! I was so weary about adding apple cider vinegar because I HATE that stuff, so I tried it together on a spoon before adding it in- it made the flavour perfect! So yummy.

I made this today for a large group, and I asked my husband to taste it to see if it needed salt. He said this was so delicious and the best pasta salad ever. I used Durkee mayonnaise as someone else suggested instead of Miracle Whip. I also added a red and a yellow bell pepper chopped by hand because I didn\u2019t want it too tiny. I did the same with the celery and added a little more shredded carrots. I also added 7 oz. of a good quality cheddar cheese cut into small cubes as someone else suggested. Because some people needed it to be gluten free, I used gluten free spiral pasta and it tasted just like regular pasta.<\/p>

I tasted the dressing before added it and it was a little too vinegar tasting my me so I added less than a teaspoon more sugar and no salt.. It didn\u2019t make it sweet but it did tone down the vinegar taste.<\/p>
