Print Recipe

If there’s one thing Guy Fieri knows how to do, it’s pack big flavor into comfort food classics.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound elbow macaroni, cooked and cooled

  • 1 cup mayonnaise

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard

  • 1 teaspoon sugar

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 cup finely chopped celery

  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper

  • ½ cup finely chopped red onion

  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Pasta
Boil a large pot of salted water. Add macaroni and cook according to package directions until just al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Dressing
In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Add the Veggies and Eggs
Stir in the celery, red bell pepper, red onion, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and parsley.

Step 4: Combine with Pasta
Add the cooled macaroni to the bowl. Mix well to coat the pasta with the dressing and evenly distribute the veggies and eggs.

Step 5: Chill and Serve
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This helps the flavors meld together. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or extra parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the pasta – Slightly firm pasta holds up better and doesn’t turn mushy.

  • Rinse the pasta – It stops the cooking process and removes excess starch, so the salad stays light.

  • Chop ingredients finely – Smaller pieces mix better and give consistent bites.
