– Drain pasta and rinse with cold water.– Drain pasta again and set aside to cool.– When pasta is completely cool, add pasta to a large bowl with celery, onions, pickle pieces, and black and green olives.
– Toss to combine.– Mix Miracle Whip, mustard, pickle juice, salt, and pepper in a separate small bowl.– Add half of the mixture to the pasta and mix well.
– Continue adding Miracle Whip mixture until the macaroni salad is creamy.– Set aside any leftover mixture for moistening macaroni salad later if necessary.– Gently fold in egg pieces.
– Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.– Remove from the refrigerator and add any remaining dressing mix if needed.
