mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt provides a creamy texture with fewer calories.

elbow macaroni

🥗Healthier: whole wheat elbow macaroni

💰Cheaper: shell pasta

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

Boil water in a pot and add a generous amount of salt.

Add 2 cups of elbow macaroni to the boiling water and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Drain the macaroni in a large colander and rinse under cool running water to stop the cooking process.

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of mustard, chopped sweet peppers, grated carrot, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1/2 small onion, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons of sugar; mix well.

Add the cooled macaroni to the dressing and mix until well combined, ensuring the colors are visible.

Gently fold in the chopped hard-boiled eggs and fresh parsley as a final touch.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
