Macaroni Salad

 

I don't usually like salad and definitely not plain macaroni salad, but I have a lot of elbow macaroni (that I had bought to make Ham and Macaroni Soup), so I had to think of other ways to use elbow macaroni. 

This is my take on different recipes I've seen. It is reminiscent of Hawaiian macaroni salad, but it uses salad cream instead of mayo (which I don't have) and other seasonings. I think ham and peas and carrots would go well in the salad, but I wanted to make it a plain macaroni salad this time.

• 1/2 cup elbow macaroni
• freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tblsp salad cream

1. Cook elbow macaroni until slightly overcooked. Rinse in cold water and drain. 
2. Mix with black pepper and salad cream.
