Steps:
- Whisk 1 cup mayonnaise, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until well blended; whisk in sugar. Stir in celery, red bell pepper, carrot, onions, and jalapeno and poblano peppers. Refrigerate until macaroni is ready to dress.
- Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain but do not rinse. Allow macaroni to drain in a colander about 5 minutes, shaking out moisture from time to time. Pour macaroni into large bowl; toss to separate and cool to room temperature. Macaroni should be sticky.
- Pour dressing over macaroni and stir until dressing is evenly distributed. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or, ideally, overnight to allow dressing to absorb into the macaroni.
- Stir salad before serving. Mix 1 tablespoon mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon water into salad for fresher look.

- Pasta: Heat a large pot of water to boil. Generously salt the water. Prepare the pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse the pasta under cold running water. Then add it to a large bowl and allow the pasta to cool in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (or half the time in the freezer.) Chop the vegetables and make the dressing while the pasta cools.
- Dressing: Combine the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl using a whisk until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is smooth. Taste and adjust with additional salt, pepper, or sugar as desired.
- Toss: Add the chopped veggies to the same bowl as the cooled pasta. Stir in the dressing until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. The macaroni salad does taste better as it sits! So a few hours is even better!
