Method
1. Cook the pasta: Cook the macaroni in batches according to package instructions. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
2. Prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yoghurt, vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
3. Combine with pasta: While the pasta is still warm, fold it gently into the prepared dressing to coat evenly.
4. Add vegetables and seeds: Add the chopped red peppers, celery (if using), onions, green chillies, and poppy seeds. Mix gently but thoroughly to distribute all ingredients evenly.
5. Chill before serving: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavours to develop.
6. Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving cold.
