How to Make Macaroni And Cheese Salad

Cook 1 pound elbow macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Rinse under cold water and drain well.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs, 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard.
Add the mayonnaise mixture to the cooked macaroni. Gently fold in the dry ingredient mixture.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably 3-4 hours, to allow flavors to blend completely.
