I love macaroni salad, but wanted something a bit lighter. I looked through a lot of recipes and combined the best of all, and added my special touch--this was a big hit even among folks who don't normally like macaroni salads. The peas are the real surprise.

Ingredients

  • 1 package elbow macaroni , 8 ounce
  • 4 whole green onions , thinly sliced
  • 2 stalks celery , diced
  • 0.5 large red bell pepper , diced
  • 0.33 cups frozen petite peas , thawed
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley , or to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, rinse, and transfer to a bowl.

  2. 2

    Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, dry mustard, salt, and pepper for dressing in a small bowl; mix well. Pour over pasta.

  3. 3

    Add dressing, green onions, celery, bell pepper, peas, and parsley to the pasta. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours before serving.
