Made with elbow pasta.
Dinosaur Macaroni Salad
(from Dinosaur Bar-B-Que: An American Roadhouse)
- 1 lb. small shell pasta (Peter uses medium shell pasta, Ellen's used elbows as shown in the photos)
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes, cored and diced
- 1 cup thinly sliced celery
- 1/2 cup finely diced green pepper
Dressing:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Creole mustard or spicy brown mustard
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. brown sugar
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tsp. black pepper
Cook the shell pasta in a large pot of salted, boiling water. Drain and cool shells under cold running water. Drain again and put in a large bowl. Add tomatoes, celery, and pepper. Make the dressing by mixing everything together. Stir into pasta until coated and creamy. Taste seasonings. Refrigerate until serving.
Peter makes this for us now when we’re vacationing in the Thousand Islands.
