Since so many people are looking to eat healthier, I thought I’d give you a few of the recipes I have made when I need to eat healthier, lower fat and lower calories meals. I’ll be posting a few of them over the next few days.
I have been making this macaroni salad for several years now. It is low in calorie and fat, but has good flavor and is so easy to make.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups elbow macaroni
- 4 hard-cooked eggs
- 1/3 cup sliced green onion
- 1/3 cup diced celery
- 1/3 cup chopped green pepper
- 1/3 cup pickle relish
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Watkins granulated pepper
- dash of paprika
Dressing:
- 3 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 1 cup low-fat mayonnaise-type salad dressing.
Directions:
- Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain.
- Peel eggs and discard yolk; dice whites.
- In a large bowl, combine macaroni, egg whites, green onion, celery, pickles, pimiento, salt and pepper; set aside.
- To make dressing, combine sugar, vinegar, mustard and salad dressing in a small bowl; stir well to blend.
- Pour dressing over salad.
- Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
- When ready to serve, lightly dust with paprika.
Yield 14 (1/2 cup) servings.
Use regular diced onion if you don’t have green onions.
Enjoy!
