Directions:

• Step 1: Cook the Pasta - Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the uncooked macaroni pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 7-8 minutes. Once done, drain the pasta in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool.
• Step 2: Prepare the Ingredients - While the pasta cools, chop the hard-boiled eggs, celery, red onion, and pickle spears. Make sure to have everything ready for a seamless mixing process.
• Step 3: Mix the Dressing - In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayo, sour cream, yellow mustard, pickle juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir until well blended.
• Step 4: Combine Everything - Once the pasta is cooled, add it to the mixing bowl with the dressing. Then, add in the chopped eggs, celery, red onion, and pickles. Gently fold the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
• Step 5: Chill and Garnish - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors meld. Before serving, sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
