Recipe Summary Macaroni Salad With Apples
Something a little different I came up with that satisfies my need for something savory and sweet, but with more vegetables than the typical pasta salad.Ingredients | Pasta Salad Recipes With Mayo
1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
5 slices thick-cut applewood smoked bacon
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup apple juice
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
2 ½ tablespoons dill pickle relish, or to taste
1 teaspoon mustard powder
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¾ cup chopped red onion
¾ cup julienned carrots
½ cup shredded red cabbage
½ cup diced bell pepper
½ cup diced celery
1 small Granny Smith apple, cored and chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 head red leaf lettuce, leaves separated
Directions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Rinse under cold water and set aside to drain.
While pasta is cooking, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Blot bacon slices with paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle.
Mix together mayonnaise, apple juice, apple cider vinegar, relish, mustard powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Fold in cooked macaroni. Add onion, carrots, red cabbage, bell pepper, celery, apple, and crumbled bacon; stir to combine. Place 2 or 3 lettuce leaves on each plate and top with macaroni salad.
To make this vegetarian, you can substitute tofu for the bacon. Slice 1 brick of tofu into 1/3-inch slices and marinate in 1/2 cup of vegetarian soy sauce for 1 hour. Then drain and cook in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Slice into thin strips.
