Pasta Salads
Jackie and I decided to cook up some of the macaroni to have around while it's so hot. We both hit the kitchen and I cruised a couple of recipes and got some basics and set out. We divided the pasta up and Jackie wanted to try a fruit/pasta salad and I went for a mustard base and an Raspberry vinaigrette based one.
A little experimenting and we came up with some good ones and stumbled across your secret Mom.
Your world (regional at least) potato salad, the mustard based one. We always knew mustard, dill seed or pickles, boiled eggs, onion, potatoes and your secret which you wouldn't tell us. I know you meant to, I know that.
So - mustard pasta salad: macaroni, boiled eggs, mustard, a touch of sage, sugar, onions, a hint of mayo and the secret ingredient - apple cider vinegar
savory macaroni pasta salad: macaroni, boiled eggs, onion, raspberry vinaigrette, hint of sage, dill seed and a bit of onion soup mix, hint of mayo to calm the soup mix down.
fruit/pasta salad: flavored yogurt, sour cream, honey, fruit (mandarin oranges, pineapple - canned. Grapes cut in half), macaroni
