SUMMER MACARONI SALAD

When we grill, my mother asks me to make this summer pasta salad. To make it extra creamy, I like to keep a small amount of dressing separate and stir it in just before serving. -Carly Curtin, Ellicott City, Maryland

CREAMY MACARONI SALAD

This is my own macaroni salad. I did not get it from my mother or my grandmother and I did not get it out of a book or off the internet. It is not Amish, Cajun, Mexican or any other description of the various macaroni salads that are posted on the internet. It is my own made up salad. It is designed after my own recipe #20155 that I have posted on Recipezaar (with 121 high reviews, thank you very much to those that have tried it). The dressing is mostly the same, but there are a few other ingredients in this salad that is not in my potato salad. I hope some of you will enjoy it as much as you did the other.

CREAMY VEGAN MACARONI SALAD

Whether you follow a plant-based diet or are just looking for a dairy-free alternative, this creamy macaroni salad is the perfect dish for your next summer BBQ or weeknight meal. We kept the same components of a typical creamy macaroni salad-tender elbow pasta, crunchy celery, sweet bell pepper, a hint of mustard and splash of vinegar-but swapped in vegan mayonnaise and vegan sour cream. Everybody will go back for seconds.

Steps:

Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil over high heat. Boil the pasta until al dente, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain well, then transfer to a bowl to cool completely.
Meanwhile, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, vegan sour cream, vinegar, parsley, mustard powder, onion powder, 3/4 teaspoons salt and several grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl until smooth and combined. Cover the dressing and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
Once the pasta is completely cool, fold in the dressing, celery, and peppers until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces vegan elbow macaroni (about 2 cups; see Cook's Note)

1/2 large red bell pepper, finely diced (about 3/4 cup)

CREAMY MACARONI SALAD

I have looked all over for a great macaroni salad; this one is it! It's easy and is a huge hit at every function I take it to. The sauce for this is a great creamy sauce. I like my salads to have a lot of creamy dressing, so I always make an extra half batch of the wet mix and add it as necessary to get the salad more wet because the pasta soaks up the sauce.
