Summer Macaroni Salad6/17/2015 Family Reunion time!
Thank you to all of you readers that kept my daughter in law Missy in your prayers, she had successful surgery for removal of a brain tumor and is now home recovering. Summer is always time for those family reunion potluck picnics. I tried a new side dish recipe for a macaroni salad from one of the latest issues from Taste of Home. I liked it so well I have made it twice, I think it’s a nice alternative to potato salad and faster to make too, something a little different to take to a potluck picnic. I hope that you will enjoy it too! Summer Macaroni Salad: 1 pkg. (16 oz.) elbow macaroni (I used tri color rotini) 1 cup Spin Blend salad dressing 2 Tbsp milk 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar 1 Tbsp sugar 1 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp pepper 1 medium sweet yellow, orange or red pepper, finely chopped 1 medium onion, finely chopped 2 Roma tomatoes, chopped 1 stalk celery, finely chopped 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped Cook the pasta according to package directions, drain, rinse with cold water and drain again. In small bowl, mix the salad dressing, milk, vinegar, sugar and seasonings until blended. In a large bowl combine the pasta, peppers, onion and celery. Add the dressing and toss gently to coat. Refrigerate covered for at least two hours or longer until cold, Sprinkle with parsley before serving. Have a good week!
