Pasta Palooza

In celebration of Memorial Day I attended a friend's barbecue, of course. Trying to find a new recipe and something appropriate for a bbq I decided to make Deli Style Macaroni Salad via Coconut & Lime.

Ingredients:
3/4 cup low fat mayonnaise
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 1/2 tbsp sugar
2 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 medium onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 carrots, grated
1/2 tsp celery seed (I actually didn't use this)
salt
pepper
16 oz cooked macaroni (I used whole wheat mac)



Directions:
In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, celery seed if used, vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper. In a large bowl, stir together the onion, carrot, and macaroni. Combine in large bowl. Refrigerate overnight.

This was really good! Definitely a hit at the bbq and it wasn't too strong of a flavor as pasta salad can sometimes be. Also, healthier by using low fat mayo and whole wheat macaroni. Couldn't really figure out points, since I'm not sure how many servings this would be, but it can't be that bad. And we got a lot of servings out of this!
