Yummy Sparkly Macaroni Salad

Macaroni salad is super nutritious and yummy combining ingredients such as eggs, celery, onion and macaroni. Here is the super shiny dish.

  • 8 oz macaroni
  • ½ cup finely diced sweet gherkins usually 4-6 sweet gherkins for me
  • ¾ cup finely diced red bell pepper about ½ pepper
  • ⅓ cup thinly sliced celery about 1-2 stalks
  • ⅓ cup finely diced red onion 
  • 2 large hard boiled eggs, finely diced

Macaroni Salad Dressing

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise I use olive oil mayo (175g)
  • ¼ cup sour cream (70g)
  • 2 Tablespoons sweet pickle juice
  • 1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar*
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
