  • large bowl
  • whisk

Ingredients
  • 1 pound whole wheat pasta (preferably rotini or farfalle)

  • 2 T cider vinegar
  • 2 t Dijon mustard
  • 2/3 c mayonnaise
  • ½ t salt
  • dash paprika
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped

Directions Cook the pasta and mock bacon according to package directions, hard boil the eggs. When the pasta is done, drain and rinse with cold water. Peel the eggs and rinse with cold water. Chop the bacon and eggs. Set everything aside to cool.

Notes *I like "Fakin' bacon" for its nice smoky flavor.
