🥗Healthier: whole wheat elbow macaroni

Whole wheat offers more fiber, while shell pasta can be more affordable.

Add celery, pickles, onion, bell pepper, and chives to a large bowl. Set aside.

Boil the macaroni according to the package instructions.

While pasta is boiling, mix together the mayo, mustard, vinegar, honey, garlic, and salt and pepper.

When the pasta is al dente, drain into a colander and rinse the pasta well under cold running water to release excess starch.

Shake dry, and then add the pasta and the dressing to the veggies.

Toss, add the chopped egg and more salt and pepper, and toss again. Serve right away or store, covered, in the fridge until ready to enjoy!
