Zippy’s Restaurant Copycat Macaroni Salad
from Zippy’s Restaurant Honolulu, Hawaii
1 Cup Best Foods / Hellmann’s Mayonnaise (no substitution)
1 Tbsp prepared Yellow Mustard (like French’s Classic Yellow Mustard)
2 Tbsp White Onion, finely grated, juice and pulp (use a microplane, if available)
4 Tbsp Carrot, finely grated
4 Tbsp Celery, finely diced
Salt and Pepper to taste (about 1/8 to 1/4 tsp of each)
1/2 lb (before coooking) Elbow Macaroni, cooked past al dente, to “fat” noodle, soft (but not falling apart)
Combine all ingredients except the Macaroni in a large mixing bowl.
Prepare the pasta as directed. Test the pasta to make sure that it is past al dente, nice and soft but not falling apart. Drain well.
Toss cooked macaroni gently with the dressing and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
