Dressing:
½ c. Hellmann's or Best Foods Mayonnaise
½ c. plain Greek yogurt
1 ½ tbsp. white wine vinegar
2 tsp. Dijon mustard, *** then more to taste (I like about 4 tsp.)

Macaroni Salad:
8 oz. dry elbow macaroni

Directions:
Directions:
1. Cook macaroni in salted water according to directions on package (I added about
½ tbsp. salt to the water).
2. Drain and rinse with cold water until completely cool. Let drain very well.
3. In a medium mixing bowl stir together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, vinegar, mustard,
honey, and season with salt and pepper to taste (start with about ½ tsp. salt and ¼
tsp. pepper then add more salt after you've added the dressing to the pasta).
4. Add well drained macaroni to a large mixing bowl along with eggs, bell pepper,
carrots, celery and onion (if you like to have some color over your salad I like to set
aside some of the veggies to sprinkle over the top).
5. Pour dressing over top, add in parsley and toss mixture to evenly coat. Serve or
store in refrigerator up to 1 day.
