Ingredients
- 1 box elbow macaroni 16 ounces
- 2 hard-boiled eggs chopped
- 1/2 onion diced
- 3 celery stalks diced
- 1 red pepper diced
- 2 tablespoons pickle relish
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon celery seed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Cook the macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Be sure not to overcook it, as you want it to be firm in the salad. Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- While the macaroni is cooking, chop the onion, celery, red pepper, and hard-boiled eggs into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Mix the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, pickle relish, sugar, salt, and celery seed in a large bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Add the cold noodles, chopped veggies, and eggs to the bowl and gently mix everything until evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
- Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 2 hours before serving.

Notes
- I like to make this with real mayonnaise. Some people prefer Miracle Whip. Use whichever one is your favorite.
- Cook your pasta al dente, meaning it's cooked but firm when bitten.
- Rinse the macaroni under cold water to stop cooking and cool it down before adding the dressing.
- Get creative with this creamy macaroni salad. Add in different veggies, like shredded carrots or cucumbers, or toss in some tuna, chicken, or even bacon for a delightful twist.
