Creamy Macaroni Salad

When we grill, I like to make this creamy macaroni salad. To make it extra creamy, I like to keep a small amount of dressing separate and stir it in just before serving.

Prep time:

Calories per serving: 104

Ingredients:
1 package (16 ounces) elbow macaroni
1 cup mayonnaise
3 to 4 milk
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 small sweet yellow, orange or red pepper, finely chopped
1 small green pepper, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 celery rib, finely chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Directions:
Cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain; rinse with cold water and drain again.

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, water, vinegar, sugar and seasonings until blended. In a large bowl, combine macaroni, peppers, onion and celery. Add 1 cup dressing; toss gently to coat. Refrigerate, covered, until cold, about 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining dressing to add just before serving.

To serve, stir in reserved dressing. Sprinkle with parsley.
