Classic Macaroni Salad
 
For the Salad
  • 8 ounces gluten free macaroni
  • 8 ounce can water chestnuts, well drained and chopped
  • 4 ounce jar pimento, well drained(optional)
  • 2 tablespoons dry onion
  • 1/4 to 1/3-cup pickle relish or chopped sweet pickles (optional)
For the Dressing
  • 2/3 cup mayonnaise, 10 or 11 packets
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
 
Begin by preparing the macaroni according to package directions. Do not add any salt. When the macaroni is tender rinse it in cool water and drain well. Drain the water chestnuts. Rinse them in fresh water or macaroni water. Drain again and chop.
 
Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine all of the dressing ingredients. Mix well. Add the prepared macaroni and vegetables. Stir again. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and set it somewhere cool for the flavors to blend. About 30 minutes is plenty of time. Serve in large portions.
 
Makes 10 servings.

In this recipe water chestnuts replace the more conventional ingredient— celery. If you have fresh celery then omit the water chestnuts and use 1 to 1-1/2 cups finely chopped celery instead. Water chestnuts make a good replacement for celery because they have a mild flavor and provide the necessary crunch. Celery seed is added to make up for the missing celery flavor. All in all it's quite tasty.
