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 (8 ounce) package elbow macaroni
- 4 whole green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- ½ large red bell pepper, diced
- 1/3 cup frozen petite peas, thawed
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley, or to taste
Dressing
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons sour cream, or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons white sugar
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 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.
Step 2
Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, dry mustard, salt, and pepper for dressing in a small bowl; mix well. Pour over pasta.
Step 3
Add dressing, green onions, celery, bell pepper, peas, and parsley to the pasta. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours before serving.
