Ingredients

  • 8 ounces elbow pasta
  • 2 celery stalks finely chopped
  • 2 carrots finely chopped
  • 1 small red pepper finely chopped
  • 1 cup frozen peas thawed

Dressing

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add elbow macaroni and cook according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water until completely cool. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the vegan mayonnaise, pickle juice, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, maple syrup, salt and pepper.
  • Add drained macaroni to the dressing, along with celery, carrots, red pepper and peas. Toss well to combine. Serve immediately at room temperature or allow to cool in the fridge before serving.

Notes

 
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Switch up the vegetables according to what you like. It works really well with corn, peas, bell peppers and pimento peppers.
  • If you can’t find vegenaise, you can use any other mayonnaise or mayonnaise substitute, which can be found in the salad dressing isle at most grocery stores.
