A nostalgic twist on classic macaroni salad with added pimiento, vinegar, and gherkin for a zesty kick that even pasta salad skeptics will adore.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups dry small elbow macaroni
  • 0.75 cup chopped celery
  • 0.25 cup chopped sweet onion
  • 1 (2 ounce) jar diced pimentos, drained
  • 1 medium sweet gherkin pickle, diced
  • 0.75 cup creamy salad dressing
  • 2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 0.33333334326744 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
Instructions:
  • Heat a generously salted large pot of water until boiling. Add in the macaroni and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until it is al dente. Drain the macaroni and rinse it with cold water.
  • Combine the macaroni, celery, sweet onion, pimentos, and pickle in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the creamy salad dressing, mustard, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold the dressing into the macaroni mixture, then add the eggs. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
