Macaroni salad
Delicious macaroni salad recipe bursting with flavor from creamy dressing, crunchy veggies, and savory herbs. Perfect for picnics and gatherings.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups elbow macaroni, or any shape you like
- 1 cup avocado oil mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup sweet, tangy tomato-based salad dressing (I use Dorothy Lynch Home Style dressing )
- 1/3 cup diced onion
- 1/3 cup diced radishes
- 1/3 cup frozen peas, defrosted for 10 minutes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
- Prepare the macaroni following the instructions on the package. After cooking, strain the pasta and rinse with cold water to cool down. Remove excess water, transfer to a large bowl, and set it aside.
- Combine mayonnaise, salad dressing, onion, radishes, and peas in a medium-sized bowl until thoroughly mixed. Pour this mixture over the macaroni and gently fold it in. Taste the dish and add salt and pepper as needed. You can serve it right away or store it covered in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
