How to Make Awesome Macaroni Salad
- Cook 1 pound elbow macaroni according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool quickly. Set aside.
- While the macaroni is cooking, prepare the vegetables: finely chop 1 cup celery, 1/2 cup red onion, and 1/2 cup bell pepper (any color).
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooked macaroni, celery, red onion, and bell pepper to the bowl with the dressing.
- Gently toss everything together until the macaroni is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for the best taste!
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
