While the water comes to a boil, prepare your dressing: In a large bowl, stir together pickles, celery, scallions, mayonnaise, buttermilk, parsley, dill, capers and brine, mustard, lemon zest and juice, and sugar. Season with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.

Step 3

Cook the macaroni in the boiling water until al dente, about 6 minutes; drain well and let cool for a few minutes.
