Ingredients

• 8 ounces Gluten-free elbow macaroni
• 4 large Hard-boiled eggs
• 2 stalks Celery
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 0.5 small Red onion
• 1 medium Carrot
• 0.5 cup Pickle relish
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
• 0.25 cup White sugar
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Begin by boiling water in a large pot over high heat. Once boiling, add the gluten-free elbow macaroni and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 2

While the macaroni is cooking, prepare the other ingredients. Finely chop the hard-boiled eggs. Dice the celery and red bell pepper. Mince the red onion. Grate the carrot.

Step 3

Drain the cooked macaroni in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to let it cool completely.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled macaroni, chopped eggs, celery, red bell pepper, red onion, carrot, and pickle relish.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the macaroni mixture and stir until all ingredients are well-coated. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7

Sprinkle the salad with paprika for garnish and additional flavor.

Step 8

Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.
