This creamy macaroni salad is a delightful side dish, perfect for gatherings or a family meal.
Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions, then drain and let it cool.
Rinse the macaroni with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it quickly.
Chop the hard-boiled eggs, celery, onion, and green olives into small pieces.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and maintain the texture of the ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, paprika, pickle relish, milk, and sugar until smooth.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Combine the macaroni, chopped vegetables, and eggs in a large bowl.
Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Be gentle while mixing to avoid breaking the macaroni.
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 3 hours before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a better taste.
