I was totally in the mood for macaroni salad the other night, so of course, I went to Pinterest to find the one like my MIL used to make. All of the recipes had pickle juice or relish and dijon mustard that I knew the kids would hate, so I created my own (with the veggies the kids will eat) and it was delish!
Here’s my Easy Peasy Classic Macaroni Recipe!
Ingredients:
1 box of Smart Macaroni Pasta
3 tablespoons of Miracle Whip Lite (add more if you like it creamier)
1 teaspoon of paprika
1 teaspoon of salt, pepper and sugar
bite size carrots, red pepper, celery
1/4 cup of corn
1/4 cup of edamame (shelled)
Directions:
1. Make pasta al dente and set aside.
2. In another bowl, mix Miracle Whip and seasonings. Add more Miracle Whip or seasonings based on your preference. We didn’t want it too wet or creamy.
3. Cut your fresh veggies (add others if you like; peas, other peppers, tomatoes, etc.)
4. Cook frozen corn and frozen edamame in the microwave (put them together in a microwaveable bowl and heat for 2 min.)
5. Toss everything together, coating it all and adding more Miracle Whip if needed.
6. Let it sit for at least 2 hours.
Enjoy this summer staple with your fave BBQ meat!
