Gonzalez Food Market Macaroni Salad.
Gonzalez Food Market Macaroni Salad comes to us from Robb Walsh, who explores the less-traveled backroads of the Texas barbecue trail for his Legends of Texas Barbecue Cookbook. The raisins add a note of sweetness that makes us think Miracle Whip is the best choice for the dressing, though you are welcome to use mayo. Makes about 16 servings.
Ingredients:
8 oz dried elbow macaroni, about 1 2/3 cup
½ c celery, chopped
½ c onion, chopped
2 medium carrots, peeled and grated
¼ c raisins
1 c Miracle Whip or mayonnaise
Salt and pepper to taste
Method: cook macaroni in a generous amount of salted water until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and pour cold water over to stop cooking. Stir in other ingredients and refrigerate at least 4 hour and preferably overnight. Taste before serving and add salt and pepper as needed,.
