Confetti Macaroni Salad

Serves 8 as Side.

Yields 1 quart.

  • 1-1/2 c Elbow Macaroni
  • 1 Carrot, very small dice
  • 1 small Red Pepper* (or 1/2 large), very small dice
  • 1 stalk of Celery, small dice
  • 2 T Red Onion, very small dice
  • 2 Scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 T Fresh or Dried Dill (use 1 tsp if dried), minced
  • 2 T Fresh Parsley, chiffonade
  • 1/2 tsp salt, or more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp pepper, or more to taste
  • 1/4 c Mayonaise (I use Hellman's, you can make homemade, if you want)

Cook the macaroni in boiling salted water for about 5 minutes. You want it tender, but not overcooked. Drain thoroughly and combine with vegetables, herbs, salt & pepper and a large spoonful of mayo. Stir. You may need more mayo. Everyone likes a different amount in their macaroni salad, so make it to your liking. Chill for an hour or more before serving, can be made a day ahead.

* To make this even more colorful, use a few different colors of bell pepper.
