Ingredients

• 2 cups Elbow macaroni
• 4 Eggs
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 Celery stalks, diced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse the pasta under cold water to cool it down. Set aside.

Step 2

Meanwhile, place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs and place them in a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cool, peel and chop the eggs into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the cooked and cooled macaroni, chopped eggs, diced celery, red onion, and fresh parsley to the bowl. Gently mix everything together until evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or pepper.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the macaroni egg salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Serve chilled as a side dish or on its own. Enjoy!
