Optional Parsley and Paprika for Garnish
Prep a pot of water to boil the pasta per the package instructions. While waiting for the pasta water to boil, dice the large shallot and the green pepper and set aside.
Once the pasta is cooked, rinse with cold water to cool and drain well with a strainer.
I reuse the pasta pot to mix the ingredients together. Rinse the pot and dry completely. Add the drained pasta back into the pot. Add the diced shallot and green pepper.
Add the dry mustard, garlic powder, sour cream, sugar, salt and pepper. mix well.
Next, add the apple cider vinegar and the mayonnaise. Mix well.
Transfer to a serving bowl and add the optional parsley and sprinkle with paprika. Cover and refrigerate.
