Homemade Macaroni Salad
- 1 pound Elbow Macaroni
- 1 whole Lemon, Juiced
- 1-1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 1/8 teaspoons Celery Salt
- 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
- 1/8 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 2 stalks (or Rib) Celery, Chopped
- 1/2 whole Small Red Onion, Minced
- 3 Tablespoons Chopped Parsley, Plus Extra For Garnish
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- Cook macaroni pasta al dente according to package instructions. Once cooked, pour into a colander and rinse with cold water. DO NOT drain well, you want the pasta to be a bit moist.
- To make the dressing: In a small bowl, add lemon juice, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery salt, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and some black pepper and whisk together.
- In a large bowl, combine the pasta with the dressing, celery, onion, and parsley. Stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- If made ahead, this salad tends to get a bit dried out. All you need to do is stir in a little warm water, until the salad is the correct consistency again.
