Instructions

Salad
Prepare macaroni noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse immediately with cold water, then drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil and gently stir so the noodles don't stick together as they sit.
In a large bowl, combine macaroni noodles, sweet pickles, red pepper, celery, red onion, and eggs. Stir until well-combined. Set aside and prepare the dressing.

Pour dressing over your macaroni salad ingredients and toss until well-combined.
For best flavor, cover bowl and allow macaroni salad to chill for at least one hour.
