Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups elbow macaroni (uncooked)
  • 4 large eggs (hard-boiled and chopped)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise Use Halal-approved
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard Use Halal-approved
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional for sweetness)
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric Adds color and flavor
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup celery (diced)
  • 1/2 cup onion (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pickles or relish (for added zing)

Method
 

Cooking the Pasta
  1. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package directions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Preparing the Dressing
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Combining Ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, chopped eggs, diced celery, chopped onion, and pickles. Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture, and gently fold everything together until well coated.
Adjusting Seasoning
  1. Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You may want a bit more salt or pepper, depending on your preference.
Chilling and Serving
  1. Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

Letting the dish chill for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to develop beautifully. If you can prep it the night before, even better! Ensure all your mayo and mustard are labeled Halal. You can also switch in Greek yogurt for a tangy twist. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
