Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (8 ounce) package elbow macaroni
4 whole green onions, thinly sliced
2 stalks celery, diced
1/2 large red bell pepper, diced
1/3 cup frozen petite peas, thawed
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley, or to taste
Dressing:
1/3 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sour cream, or more to taste
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, rinse, and transfer to a bowl. Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, dry mustard, salt, and pepper for dressing in a small bowl; mix well. Pour over pasta. Add dressing, green onions, celery, bell pepper, peas, and parsley to the pasta. Mix until well combined. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours before serving.
