My family loves the recipe below. I copied and pasted it from the
Hellmann's web site, but I made a couple of adjustments so that it's the
original recipe I got from their jar many years ago.

CLASSIC MACARONI SALAD
(adapted from
http://www.hellmanns.com/recipe_deta...2211&version=1)

Servings: 5
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
:
8 ounces elbow macaroni (about 1-3/4 cups, uncooked)
1 cup Hellmann'sŪ or Best FoodsŪ Real Mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. vinegar (I use 2T juice from a jar of sweet pickles for a less
vinegary flavor)
1 Tbsp. prepared mustard (I use Gulden's Spicy Brown mustard)
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1 cup thinly sliced celery (chopped celery also works well)
1 cup chopped green or red bell pepper (optional)
1/4 cup chopped onion

Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain and rinse with cold
water until completely cool.
Combine Hellmann'sŪ or Best FoodsŪ Real Mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, sugar,
salt and pepper in large bowl. Stir in macaroni, celery, green pepper, and
onion. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
