Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 7-8 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Add the cooked and cooled macaroni to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss to coat the pasta evenly.

Step 4

Fold in the diced celery, red bell pepper, red onion, shredded carrots, sweet pickle relish, and chopped hard-boiled eggs. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or sugar if needed.

Step 6

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.

Step 7

Before serving, give the salad a gentle toss and sprinkle the chopped parsley on top as a garnish.

Step 8

Serve chilled and enjoy!
