  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 2 celery sticks finely diced
  • 1/2 red pepper finely diced
  • 1/2 small red onion very finely diced
  • 3 spring onions finely sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • Salt and black pepper

Method
 

  1. Cook macaroni 1–2 minutes past packet time. Drain.

  3. Whisk mayonnaise, soured cream, mustard and sugar. Season.
  4. Combine pasta, dressing and vegetables.
  5. Chill at least 1 hour.
  6. Stir through parsley, loosen with milk if needed.

Notes

Cook the pasta slightly past al dente, as it firms up when chilled.
Season with vinegar while warm for better flavour absorption.
Loosen with milk before serving if it has thickened.
Not suitable for freezing.
