Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups elbow macaroni
½ cup creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip®)
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
½ teaspoon salt
1 dash ground black pepper
½ pint cherry tomatoes, chopped
2 stalks celery, diced

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 macaroni, rinse under cold water, and drain again. Add to the salad dressing mixture with tomatoes, celery, and onion. Stir until thoroughly coated. Sprinkle with paprika. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
