Step 1: Cook the Pasta
- Boil macaroni in well-salted water until al dente (about 7–8 minutes).
- Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside to cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Dressing
- In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- Mayonnaise
- Sour cream
- Mustard
- Vinegar
- Sugar
- Salt & pepper
- Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Assemble the Salad
- Add cooled macaroni to the dressing.
- Toss in chopped veggies, eggs, and relish.
- Mix well to coat everything evenly.
Step 4: Chill & Serve
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
- Stir before serving — add a splash of milk or mayo if it thickened too much.
- Garnish with paprika, chopped parsley, or extra chopped egg if desired.
Storage:
- Keeps well in the fridge for up to 3–4 days
- Best served cold, straight from the fridge
