Categories     main-dish

Time 28m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 medium red onion, minced
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus additional for salting water
8 ounces elbow macaroni (about 2 cups)
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup sour cream
6 ounces cooked ham, cut into 1/3-inch cubes
3/4 cup frozen baby peas, thawed (about 4 ounces)
2 ribs celery, with leaves, diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • To mellow the minced onion, soak it in cold water while you make the salad.
  • Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil over high heat and salt it generously. Add the macaroni and boil, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain the macaroni in a colander, put in a serving bowl, and toss with the milk. Allow the macaroni to cool slightly while you make the dressing.
  • For the dressing: Whisk the vinegar, mustard, the 2 teaspoons salt, and black pepper to taste in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing. Whisk in the sour cream.
  • Drain the onions, pat dry, and add to the macaroni along with the ham, peas, celery, and dill. Add the dressing and fold to coat the pasta evenly. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

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 high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Organic vegetables, fresh herbs, and a good quality mayonnaise will make a big difference.
  • Cook the macaroni al dente according to the package instructions. This will prevent it from becoming mushy in the salad.
  • Allow the macaroni to cool completely before adding it to the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Chop the vegetables into small pieces so that they are easy to eat. You can also use a food processor to quickly and easily chop the vegetables.
  • Add the mayonnaise and seasonings to taste. You may want to start with a small amount and then add more until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This macaroni salad with dill is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy, tangy dressing and crunchy vegetables, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
