Ingredients

  • 16 ounces pasta
  • 3 celery stalks chopped
  • 1/2 cup red onion diced
  • 4 large hard boiled eggs peeled, chopped
  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper

Dressing

  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 4 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to package directions, then drain and run under cold water for a minute to stop the cooking process. Drain well and set aside.
  • Place the pasta, celery, eggs, onion and pepper in a bowl and toss to combine.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk all the dressing ingredients and stir until sugar has dissolved and sauce is creamy. 
  • Pour over the pasta and veggies.
  • Toss to combine with the dressing.
  • Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use celery salt instead of celery seed if you don't have it.
  • Switch out the red pepper for pimentos or roasted red peppers
  • Use stevia or another sugar substitute if desired.
  • Try this with gluten free pasta! This is my favorite brand
  • I love mine with Dukes mayo. But you can use Miracle Whip or regular mayo.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. It needs to have some texture so it doesn't get too mushy when you add the dressing.
  • Mix the salad dressing ingredients in a separate bowl before adding to the other ingredients to make sure it is fully mixed.
  • This Amish macaroni salad tastes best after it has set up for at least 24 hours. The flavors really mix well together after that time.
  • Cut back on calories with low fat, reduced fat, or fat free versions of mayo. Or use Greek yogurt or sour cream.
