Homemade Macaroni Salad

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.
