Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
  • 3 cups mayonnaise

  • 1/3 cup sweet pickle relish, or to taste

  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch paprika, for garnish

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and cool.
