Macaroni Salad

6 servings

Ingredients

  • 8 oz macaroni noodles ((227g))
  • 1/2 cup finely diced sweet gherkins (usually 4-6 sweet gherkins for me (80g))
  • 3/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper (about 1/2 pepper (100g))
  • ⅓ cup thinly sliced celery (about 1-2 stalks (55g))
  • ⅓ cup finely diced red onion ((45g))
  • 2 large hard boiled eggs, finely diced
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise (I use olive oil mayo (175g))
  • 1/4 cup sour cream ((70g))
  • 2 Tablespoons sweet pickle juice
  • 1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar*
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare macaroni noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse immediately with cold water, then drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil and gently stir so the noodles don't stick together as they sit.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine macaroni noodles, sweet pickles, red pepper, celery, red onion, and eggs. Stir until well-combined. Set aside and prepare your dressing.
