Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz dry macaroni noodles
  • ½ cup finely diced sweet gherkins
  • ¾ cup finely diced red bell pepper
  • ⅓ cup thinly sliced celery
  • ⅓ cup finely diced red onion
  • 2 large hard-boiled eggs, finely diced

  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ⅛ tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add in the dry macaroni noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool it down.
  2. Prep your veggies: Finely dice your sweet gherkins, red bell pepper, celery, and red onion.
  3. Hard boil those eggs: Boil eggs for about 9-12 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath to cool before peeling and dicing.
  4. Make the dressing: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, sweet pickle juice, red wine vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Mix it all together: Fold in the cooled macaroni, diced veggies, and hard-boiled eggs into the dressing. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
  6. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors mingle.

Notes

Garnish with fresh herbs or extra gherkin slices when serving. Perfect alongside grilled meats or sandwiches.
