- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
- 4 teaspoons yellow mustard
- ½ cup cubed sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 green onions chopped

- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
- 3 hard boiled eggs chopped

Add macaroni noodles to a large pot of boiling salted water and cook until al dente, according to the package instructions.
Once noodles are tender, drain from the pot and rinse under cold water in a strainer to cool the noodles.

For best flavor, let the salad chill for a couple of hours prior to serving but it can be enjoyed immediately.
