Ingredients

  • 8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 1/2 cup minced red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup minced celery
  • 1/3 cup minced red onion

FOR THE DRESSING

  • 2/3 cup light mayo
  • 2/3 cup nonfat, plain Greek yogurt
  • 2-4 tbsp almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard (optional)
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • Boil macaroni in salted water according to package instructions. Drain well.
  • While pasta is cooking, whisk all dressing ingredients together in a large bowl. Start with just 2 tbsp of milk and add more if needed. Mince your vegetables and mix into the dressing.
  • Add cooked pasta to the dressing/veggies and mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  • This salad will get better the longer it sits. Store it for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
