Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole-wheat elbow pasta
  • ½ bell pepper, diced
  • 1/3 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 (Optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1
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.

Step 2
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.

Step 3
Cover pasta salad and let cool in fridge for at least 90 minutes before serving, stirring occasionally to mix sauce into pasta evenly.
