In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Taste, and add salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

To the mixing bowl, add the onions, red and green bell pepper, cheddar cheese, celery, and eggs. Pour on the dressing, and stir to combine. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
