Deeeelicious Macaroni Salad

< >

4 Cups Macaroni
½ Cup Mayonnaise
½ Cup Mustard
1 tbsp. Montreal Steak Spice
Fresh Black Pepper & Salt to Taste

Veggies:

1 Green Pepper, diced
1 Red Pepper, diced
4 Green Onions, chopped
1 Red Onion, diced
Whole Celery Stalk, chopped
2 tbsp. Relish

1 tbsp. Diced Dill Pickle (Optional -- I have to put it in because that's what Dwight's Mom used to use, so he likes it!)

Step 1: Cook the Macaroni, then Drain and cool.

Step 2: Mix the Mayonnaise and the Mustard in a large Measuring Cup. Blend in Steak Spice.

Step 3: Prepare Veggies. Toss them into a big (and I mean BIG!) Bowl as you prepare each one.

Step 4: Pour the Mustard/Mayo Mixture onto the Veggies, and mix well.

Step 5: Slowly stir in the Macaroni. Sprinkle with Freshly Ground Pepper. Cover and pop in the Fridge. The colder, the better.

(Or you can add the Macaroni to the Veggies, then add the 'Sauce'. Just put in as much as you like -- I often have a bit left over, and I save that for Sandwiches, since it makes a nice Sandwich Spread, too!)

This is a great make-ahead dish for a BBQ.

I came up with this recipe when Dwight, my husband, said he’d really looove some Macaroni Salad, and I had no idea how to make it, but I can’t stand the usual ‘mayo salad’ that is usually served, so I just started experimenting in the Kitchen (that’s basically how all my recipes are ‘born’! ha,ha!), and this is what I came up with – now it’s a family favorite! We even eat this for Breakfast! I happen to love lots of ground pepper on mine and a wee dash of salt, but it’s personal taste, so add it if you love it!
