Direction

Chop the salad ingredients first, so they're ready to go. Dice the hard-boiled eggs, bell pepper, onion, and celery.
-
Boil the macaroni until tender, then drain it in a colander. Briefly rinse the pasta with cool water to cool it off.
-
While the macaroni is boiling, prepare the dressing. Stir together the mayonnaise, Dijon, relish, red wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
-
Combine the cooled and drained macaroni, egg, bell pepper, celery, and onion in a bowl. Pour the dressing over top, then stir until everything is well combined and coated in dressing.
-
Serve the macaroni salad immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.
