Description

It’s like grocery store macaroni salad, only yummy. This simple salad is quick and easy to make and perfect for a picnic or a barbecue. To me, this is real summer comfort food.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Elbow Macaroni
  • 1 whole Lemon, Juiced
  • 1-½ cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • ⅛ teaspoons Celery Salt
  • 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 2 stalks (or Rib) Celery, Chopped
  • ½ whole Small Red Onion, Minced
  • 3 Tablespoons Chopped Parsley, Plus Extra For Garnish
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste

Preparation

Cook macaroni pasta al dente according to package instructions. Once cooked, pour into a colander and rinse with cold water. DO NOT drain well, you want the pasta to be a bit moist.

To make the dressing: In a small bowl, add lemon juice, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery salt, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and some black pepper and whisk together.

In a large bowl, combine the pasta with the dressing, celery, onion, and parsley. Stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.

If made ahead, this salad tends to get a bit dried out. All you need to do is stir in a little warm water, until the salad is the correct consistency again.
