Ingredients
SALAD
- 8 ounces dry macaroni pasta
- ½ medium red bell pepper seeded and finely chopped
- ½ medium red onion finely diced
- 1 small carrot peeled and shredded
- 2 dill pickles finely chopped
- ¼ cup celery chopped
DRESSING
- 1 cup mayonnaise S&W, Best Foods, Hellmann's, Japanese or any whole egg mayo
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar adjust to taste
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons parsley fresh, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chives fresh, chopped
- 1 ½ teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced

Instructions
- Bring large pot of salted water to the boil over high heat. Add the pasta and boil until al dente (just fork-tender), or follow packet directions.
- While pasta is boiling, prepare/chop SALAD ingredients and add them to a large serving bowl.
- Mix DRESSING ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Once pasta is cooked, drain and rinse under cool running water. Drain well and add to the rest of the SALAD ingredients in the large serving bowl.
- Pour over DRESSING and toss well to evenly combine. Adjust salt, pepper and vinegar to taste.
- Set aside for at least 15 minutes to let the ingredients warm close to room temperature and settle into each other before serving.
