¾ cup vegan mayonnaise

Chef's tip
Use the same amount and stir until it dissolves. Honey tastes a touch sweeter, so you can also use slightly less.
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For the salad

1 cup dill pickles, finely chopped
3 stalks celery, finely diced
¼ cup red onion, finely diced
2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste

For serving

extra fresh dill, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 tbsp salt, then cook the elbow macaroni according to package directions until tender with no resistance at the center, about 8–9 minutes. Drain through a colander and rinse under cold running water until the pasta is completely cool to the touch.
2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, dill pickle brine, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and black pepper until smooth and uniform.
