My DH always raved about my mom's pasta salad until I found the inspiration for this recipe in TOH June 2002. Now he doesn't like it any other way. I have modified the original recipe over the years & now need to post it here for safe-keeping because the clipping is falling apart.

SERVES 12 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups salad macaroni
1 bunch green onion, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, seeded & diced
1 cup celery, diced
1-1 1/4 cup mayonnaise
4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4-1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 lb bacon

Directions

1
Boil pasta per package directions, then drain & rinse in cold water.
2
While pasta is cooking, trim most of the fat from the bacon, chop into 1-inch pieces & then panfry til almost crisp; drain on paper towels & set aside.
3
In large bowl, combine mayo, vinegar, salt, pepper, celery, onion & bacon.
4
Gently stir in tomato, & pasta.
5
Cover tightly & refrigerate til serving.
6
*Note: Original recipe reserves bacon to add right before serving. I've done both but usually mix it immediately to save time.

Great pasta salad! I added some shredded sharp cheddar and topped my serving with avocado chunks. I loved it! Thanks for sharing this recipe, Tink! **Made for Think Pink 2009**

This is awesome! I just made it and I can't wait for my husband to get home from work so we can have dinner!!!!!! I made it pretty much exact (used normal salt instead of sea salt) and we are having it tonight with chicken. I plan on taking the leftover bbq'd chicken and adding it to what is left over for a kind of chicken blt salad for tomorrow's lunches. I'm also going to add cubes of cheese. Yummy!!! Great recipe! Thanks!

Wow, this was just delicious! I took to our friends annual 4th of July party and it got gobbled up in no time and there even some friends that were complaining that they wanted seconds!!! Guess I should made a double batch! This is by far, the best combination of a macaroni salad I've ever had! Thanks Tink for sharing such a fabulous recipe!!! Made for Everday is a Holiday tag game!!
