    Recipe

    MACARONI SALAD
    Serves 8 to 10
    Make sure to dry the cooked and rinsed pasta thoroughly.



    1. Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in large pot and add 2 tablespoons salt. Stir in the macaroni and cook until thoroughly done, 10 to 12 minutes Drain the macaroni into a colander and rinse with cold water until cool. Shake the macaroni dry in the colander and spread in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with paper towels. Let the macaroni dry for 3 minutes.

    2. Roll the macaroni in paper towels to blot any remaining moisture and transfer the drained macaroni to a large bowl. Toss with the remaining ingredients and season liberally with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate the macaroni salad for at least 1 hour or up to 1 day.
