Ingredients

1 lb elbow macaroni
1 cup mayonnaise
⅓ cup Greek yogurt
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp yellow mustard
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
¼ cup pickle relish
4 large hardboiled eggs shelled
3 scallions (white and light green parts) diced
8 oz cheddar cheese cubed
2 tbsp chopped dill
2 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the macaroni. Boil the macaroni until the pasta is fully cooked, 6-8 minutes. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and set aside to cool.
While the pasta is cooling, prepare the dressing. In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, mustard, salt, pepper, and pickle relish. Whisk to combine.
Add the slightly cooled macaroni and stir to combine the dressing and pasta. Add in the chopped hardboiled eggs, scallion, dill, parsley, and cubed cheese. Stir and serve immediately.
