Chop 1/2 cup each of celery, sweet onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper.

Chop 2 hard cooked eggs.

In a bowl, combine the chopped vegetables and eggs.

In another bowl, mix 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and seasonings (1/2 teaspoon each of onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and celery seed).

Whisk the dressing until well combined.

Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and stir to combine.

Let the salad sit for a couple of hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
