PERFECT CREAMY MACARONI PASTA SALAD
The key to the best creamy pasta salad is to rinse the cooked pasta under cold water before tossing with the dressing. Skipping this step means the dressing will turn sticky. We also "de-flame" the onion, which tames raw onion flavor so that the onion does not take over the salad. A quick bath in cold water does the trick.

Steps:
- Cook pasta according to the package directions. Drain and rinse well under cold water to remove starch from the outside of the pasta.
- Meanwhile, add the chopped onions to a small bowl and cover with cold water. Set aside for 5 minutes and then drain. This tones down the raw flavor of the onion so that it won't overpower the salad.
- In the bottom of a large salad bowl, make the dressing. Whisk the sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard, cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. For a sweeter macaroni salad, add honey to taste. I typically add half of a tablespoon but try one to two tablespoons if you enjoy sweeter macaroni salads.
- Add the rinsed macaroni, drained onions, bell pepper, celery, radish, and the pickle to the bowl with dressing. Mix well. Taste, then adjust with additional salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, mixing well to incorporate flavours.
- Pour dressing over cold noodles.
- Left over dressing can be placed in a jar and refrigerated for further use.
- Coleslaw dressing can be found in the salad dressing section of your supermarket.
- I have left pasta shapes unweighted as I figure you can make the amount of pasta that you need each time as the dressing will keep in the fridge. The recipe makes a large jar of dressing and it depends on how much you like your pasta coated with it.
- Please note I have listed the servings as 15 but depends on how much pasta salad each person has. The cooking time is for the pasta shapes.
