Grandma's Macaroni Salad image

A sweet macaroni salad just like Grandma used to make. The dressing is a good basic macaroni salad dressing that you can use with your own macaroni salad recipe. You must refrigerate for at least 4 hours for all of the flavors to blend together.

Time 4h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups elbow macaroni
¼ cup sweet relish
½ cup onion, finely chopped
½ cup finely chopped green bell pepper
¼ cup finely chopped carrot
1 hard-boiled egg, chopped
¼ cup creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip®)
¼ cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons low-fat milk
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

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 well; rinse with cold water and drain again.
  • Reserve 2 tablespoons relish juice; place the rest in a large bowl with onion, bell pepper, carrot, and egg.
  • Whisk creamy salad dressing into reserved relish juice. Mix in sour cream, milk, sugar, dill, salt, and pepper. Fold gently into the macaroni mixture. Refrigerate to let flavors blend, 4 to 24 hours.
