Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) elbow macaroni
- 1 tbsp (15g) salt
- 1 cup (225g) mayonnaise
- ½ cup (120g) sour cream
- 2 tbsp (30ml) apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp (15g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (15g) yellow mustard
- ½ tsp (3g) salt
- ¼ tsp (1g) black pepper
- 1 cup (120g) celery, finely diced
- ½ cup (75g) red onion, finely minced
- ½ cup (75g) red bell pepper, finely diced
- ¼ cup (60g) sweet pickle relish
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the macaroni and cook until al dente (usually 1 minute less than package directions).
- Immediately drain the pasta in a colander and rinse under cold running water until completely chilled to the touch. Shake well to remove excess moisture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk vigorously until smooth and glossy.
- Add the cooled macaroni, diced celery, minced onion, red bell pepper, and relish to the bowl.
- Gently fold the ingredients together using a rubber spatula until the pasta is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
