Macaroni Salad
 
 
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • juice & zest of one lemon
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 smashed clove of garlic
  • 1 cup dried macaroni noodles
  • ¼ cup chopped red and/or green bell pepper
  • ¼ cup sliced cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ cup peas (if frozen, thaw them)
  • 2 tablespoons capers or chopped olives
  • handful of chopped fresh basil
  • salt & pepper, to taste
  • optional: ¼ cup (or more) greek yogurt
Instructions
  1. Cook the macaroni noodles in salty water according to package directions.
  2. In a large bowl, (at the bottom of it) mix together the olive oil, lemon, lemon zest, mustard, garlic, and some salt and pepper. Add the chopped scallions, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, peas, capers and sliced basil. When your macaroni noodles are cooked, drain them well, then transfer them into the large bowl. Toss to mix the noodles with the veggies and the dressing. Taste and adjust seasonings, chill until ready to serve. If you want a creamy salad, add a big scoop of greek yogurt once your salad is somewhat chilled.
