I remember my mom making the best macaroni salad when I was a kid. I wanted to make mine similar to hers, but added a few things I like, such as pimiento, vinegar, and a gherkin for a little tartness to balance out the sweetness. My husband, who doesn't really like pasta salads, loves this!

2 cups dry small elbow macaroni
¾ cup chopped celery
¼ cup chopped sweet onion

¾ cup creamy salad dressing
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
⅓ cup white sugar

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place macaroni in the pot, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
