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
- ¾ cup chopped celery
- ¼ cup chopped sweet onion
- 1 (2 ounce) jar diced pimentos, drained
- 1 medium sweet gherkin pickle, diced
- ¾ cup creamy salad dressing
- 2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place macaroni in the pot, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix the macaroni, celery, sweet onion, pimentos, and pickle. In a separate bowl, mix the creamy salad dressing, mustard, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir dressing into the macaroni mixture. Fold in the eggs. Chill in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before serving.
