[recipe*] Fleetwood Macaroni Salad ~ vegan

[Guest guest]

Here is one of the best vegan macaroni salad

recipes I have ever tried. Donna shared it here

from out of her Native Foods cookbook last

summer, and she totally got me hooked on it

and that cookbook, too!

If you are in the market for a wonderful vegan

cookbook, I can certainly say that every recipe

I have tried from the Native Foods has been a

winner. This Mac Salad is the best made with

Vegennaise mayo.

 

" Fleetwood Macroni Salad "

 

2 cups elbow macaroni, boil and drain

1 cup fresh or defrosted corn kernels

1/2 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup chopped carrot

1/2 cucumber peeled and chopped

1/2 cup red bell pepper chopped

1/4 cup chopped parsley (I used cilantro)

1/4 cup chopped chives or green onions

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 cup vegan mayo or mayo of your choice

1 1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

(Donna's notation: I added some sliced black

olives and cherry tomatoes to mine)

 

Toss all ingredients together, and put on some

hits from the 70's.

 

Variation:

Add 2 tsp. curry powder. For an extra-spicy touch

add an additional 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper.

Want to give it a nice bright sunshiny yellow, toss

a dash of turmeric in too.
