Macaroni Salad

Does anyone know exactly what goes in to that traditional deli-style mac salad?

I mean the elbow one--with mayo---and tomatoes and peppers.

(I am only asking because I think there is also a bit of sugar and vinegar, but I don't really feel like experimenting.)


Anyone?

I "think" they use milk, vinager and sugar to thin out the mayonaise. maybe try and make the dressing mixture and taste it before you put it on the pasta.
