Macaroni Chicken Salad

This cold salad with apples makes a great side dish.

1

Cook macaroni to package directions for “firm”. Use a colander to drain and then rinse with cold water until cool.

Drain the pasta well and transfer it to a bowl. Add the celery and onion and refrigerate until it is chilled.

3

In the meantime, make the dressing. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, sweet pickle relish, sugar, vinegar, salt, and pepper to a bowl.

4

Stir with a fork or small whisk until smooth. Refrigerate the dressing until you are ready to put the pasta salad together.

5

Peel, core, and cut the apple into small cubes.

6

Add the diced apples and cubed chicken to the macaroni.

7

Pour the dressing on the macaroni chicken mixture.

8

Stir well until coated and combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Garnish with parsley and extra diced celery, if desired.
