Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water. While the pasta is cooking, dice the vegetables and prepare the sauce.
1 pound elbow macaroni
In a small bowl whisk together the yogurt, mayo, yellow mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt, garlic, and black pepper. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as desired.
1 1/2 cups plain low-fat yogurt, 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 2 teaspoons granulated sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
In a very large bowl, mix the cooked pasta, frozen peas, red peppers, green onions, and celery.
3 stalks celery, 1 red bell pepper, 3 green onions, 1 cup frozen peas, 1 pound elbow macaroni
Pour the dressing over the pasta and veggies and stir to combine. Serve right away, or refrigerate and serve within 48 hours.

Note on the yogurt: Do not replace with Greek yogurt. While delicious, it is too thick to work in this recipe.
