👨‍🍳 Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.

Drain well; rinse with cold water and drain again.

Reserve 2 tablespoons relish juice; place the rest in a large bowl with onion, bell pepper, carrot, and egg.

Whisk creamy salad dressing into reserved relish juice.

Mix in sour cream, milk, sugar, dill, salt, and pepper.

Fold gently into the macaroni mixture.

Refrigerate to let flavors blend, 4 to 24 hours.
