Simple Macaroni Salad Recipe Without Mayo

SIMPLE MACARONI SALAD RECIPE WITHOUT MAYO.

Steps:

• Prepare the gluten free macaroni according to package directions. Once it's done cooking, drain in a colander and rinse with cold water to cool it down.
• Place the cooked macaroni, all the vegetables, and the tuna in a large bowl. Toss to combine.
• Combine the ingredients for the dressing in a bowl and whisk well. Pour over the macaroni salad and stir to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• If you are making this ahead of time, you can keep the salad and the dressing separate until right before serving time. This will prevent the pasta from soaking up all the dressing.

PASTA SALAD, FABULOUS NO MAYO!

Steps:

• Cook pasta to desired tenderness.
• When cooled, add diced tomatoes, olive slices and beans.
• Add Italian dressing, measure by eye, pasta should be coated, but not swimming!
• I usually use packets of powdered dressing mix, as do not keep bottles of Italian dressing on hand, and can make as much or as little as I want.
• I've also played with different varieties of Italian dressings.
• You can have fun with it, tweak to your taste.
• If not serving immediately, refrigerate. But mix well before serving to redistribute dressing that may settle at bottom of dish.
• Serve with croutons, bacon bits & Parmesan cheese.
• (I serve this on the side to sprinkle on top, because if any leftovers croutons& bacon bits will get soggy when refrigerated, and vegans don't eat cheese!).
