Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces vegan elbow macaroni (about 2 cups; see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
1/4 cup vegan sour cream
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 celery stalks, finely diced (about 3/4 cup)
1/2 large red bell pepper, finely diced (about 3/4 cup)

Steps:

Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil over high heat. Boil the pasta until al dente, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain well, then transfer to a bowl to cool completely.
Meanwhile, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, vegan sour cream, vinegar, parsley, mustard powder, onion powder, 3/4 teaspoons salt and several grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl until smooth and combined. Cover the dressing and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
Once the pasta is completely cool, fold in the dressing, celery, and peppers until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
