Instructions:
- Cook Macaroni: Cook the elbow macaroniaccording to the package directions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and rinse with cold water to cool it down and prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Combine Vegetables & Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, combine the hard-boiled eggs (chopped or diced), sweet pickle relish, chopped red bell pepper, and chopped or diced onion.
- Prepare Dressing: In a separate small bowl, stir together the Miracle Whip salad dressing, yellow mustard, white vinegar, white sugar, and celery seed. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine All Ingredients: Pour the prepared dressing mixture over the vegetables and eggs in the large bowl. Add the cooked and cooled macaroni to the bowl. Stir everything together gently until all ingredients are well combined and evenly coated with the dressing.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the macaroni salad for at least 1 hour(or preferably longer, up to several hours) to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve: Before serving, give the salad a final stir and adjust seasoning if needed.
