Today we are heading to my nephew's birthday party. I made some traditional macaroni salad to add to the feast. I can't wait to have a piece of birthday cake!
This is a recipe I picked up in Amish country.
Mrs. Yoders Macaroni Salad
1 lb. elbow macaroni - cooked to package directions and rinsed in cold water.
1 lb. elbow macaroni - cooked to package directions and rinsed in cold water.
3 hard boiled eggs, chopped fine
1/2 medium onion grated fine on the cheese grater
1 green bell pepper chopped fine
3 stalks of celery chopped fine
1/2 cup of matchstick carrots
1 cups of miracle whip (I use light)
½ cup of mayonnaise (I use light)
3 Tbsp. dijon mustard
3 Tbsp. white sugar
2 tsp. white vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
3/4 tsp. celery seed
In a large bowl combine pasta, egg, onion, pepper, and celery.In a small bowl whisk together the miracle whip, mustard, sugar, vinegar, salt, pepper and celery seed until smooth and creamy.Pour over pasta/veggie mixture and chill before serving.
Tip: I usually don't add all the dressing at once...I reserve some for later as the pasta will absorb a lot of the dressing. Also, add some grated cheddar for a different version of this fabulous salad.
