Ingredients
Method
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold running water, and let drain thoroughly in a colander.
- While the pasta cooks, place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover, remove from heat, and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain and run cold water over the eggs until cool. Peel and chop the eggs to your desired size.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, celery salt, and pepper until smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled macaroni, chopped eggs, pickles, celery, and red onion. Pour the dressing over the top and toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Serve immediately, or for best flavor, cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld.

Notes
For a creamier salad, add an extra 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise. If you prefer a tangier flavor, increase the vinegar to 1 1/2 tablespoons. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. This salad can be made a day ahead; just give it a good stir before serving. Add a pinch of paprika on top for color. For a California twist, fold in 1/2 cup diced avocado just before serving.
