Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Macaroni

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dressing

    In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and sweet pickle relish. Mix until well blended.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked macaroni, diced celery, red bell pepper, and sliced green onions to the bowl with the dressing. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled, garnished with paprika if desired.
