Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups whole-wheat elbow pasta
½ bell pepper, diced
⅓ cup corn
1 stalk celery, diced
2 tablespoons diced red onion
½ cup vegan mayonnaise
3 teaspoons white vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Strain pasta and rinse under cold water. Drain.
  • Combine bell pepper, corn, celery, and red onion in a bowl. Mix together vegan mayo, vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; pour over vegetables. Mix in cold pasta and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  • Cover pasta salad and let cool in fridge for at least 90 minutes before serving, stirring occasionally to mix sauce into pasta evenly.
