I remember my mom making the best macaroni salad when I was a kid. I wanted to make mine similar to hers but added a few things I like, such as pimiento, vinegar, and a gherkin for a little tartness to balance out the sweetness. My husband, who doesn't really like pasta salads, loves this!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups dry small elbow macaroni
  • 0.75 cups chopped celery
  • 0.25 cups chopped sweet onion
  • 1 , 2 ounce
  • 1 medium sweet gherkin pickle , diced
  • 0.75 cups creamy salad dressing
  • 0.33 cups white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 hard-cooked eggs , chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook macaroni in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.

  2. 2

    Mix together cooked macaroni, celery, sweet onion, pimentos, and pickle in a large serving bowl until well combined.

  3. 3
