3 eggs
1 cup uncooked ditalini pasta
2 (4.5 ounce) cans small shrimp, drained and chopped, or more to taste
3 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 green onions, finely sliced
½ teaspoon finely chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup mayonnaise
salt and pepper to taste

MACARONI SALAD WITH LEMON AND HERBS



Macaroni Salad With Lemon and Herbs image

Consider this a macaroni salad for the 21st century: Like the original, it's a welcome accompaniment to picnic fare and pairs with virtually anything off the grill. But this version also happens to be bright, acidic and herbaceous. The traditional elements have been preserved - elbow macaroni, mayonnaise and a pinch of sugar are mandatory - but they've been bolstered by bright flavors: lemon zest, tangy capers and pickles, crunchy celery and tons of fresh herbs. It goes lighter on mayonnaise than the original, swapping in tangy buttermilk for a dressing that is more glossy than gloopy. It can be served straight from the fridge or at room temperature. A splash of water stirred in restores its silky sheen.

Time 25m

Yield 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2/3 cup minced bread-and-butter pickles
2 large stalks celery, peeled and finely chopped
4 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup buttermilk (see Tip)
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, plus small sprigs for garnish
1/4 cup drained jarred capers, chopped, plus 3 tablespoons caper brine
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest and 4 teaspoons juice (from 1 large lemon)
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
16 ounces elbow macaroni

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high.
  • While the water comes to a boil, prepare your dressing: In a large bowl, stir together pickles, celery, scallions, mayonnaise, buttermilk, parsley, dill, capers and brine, mustard, lemon zest and juice, and sugar. Season with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
  • Cook the macaroni in the boiling water until al dente, about 6 minutes; drain well and let cool for a few minutes.
  • Once cooled, toss macaroni with dressing, season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or refrigerate until chilled. Top with extra scallions, parsley and dill to garnish just before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. They should be cooked just until they are pink and opaque.
  • Use a variety of herbs to add flavor to the salad. Fresh dill, basil, and parsley are all good choices.
  • Use a light, flavorful dressing. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-herb dressing is a good option.
  • Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Grandma Bellows' Lemony Shrimp Macaroni Salad with Herbs is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer gathering. The combination of shrimp, macaroni, vegetables, and herbs is delicious, and the lemon-herb dressing adds a bright and tangy flavor. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
