Pasta Slaw 2009

Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
• 2 cups coleslaw mix
• 1 tablespoon grated onion, with juices
• 1 celery rib, grated
• 1 cubanal pepper
• 1/2 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Heinz salad cream, dressing
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 2/3 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. 1

   Cook 1 cup dry elbow macaroni in heavily salted boiling water until al dente, just to the tooth.

2. 2

   Drain and rinse with cold water, drain well. Set aside.

3. 3

   Grate celery rib, and onion.

4. 4

   Chop the cubanal pepper into pieces about the same size as the macaroni.

5. 5

   I chose a cubanal so that it stays fresh and doesnt overtake the slaw clean flavours.

6. 6

   In a mixing bowl add pasta, washed coleslaw mix, and chopped and grated vegies.

7. 7

   In a small bowl measure the vinegar, sugar, salt pepper, salad cream and the mayo. Blend well.

8. 8

   Toss dressing with vegies, and cover well with saran wrap.

9. 9

   Chill at least two hours before serving.

10. 10

    When I make this recipe I make sure that I have exactly two cups of cooked macaroni, and two heaping cups of cabbage slaw. The dressing amount is for that amount and works well.

    If you cant find Heinz Salad cream, don't worry as I had it in the house and used it you might need an extra tablespoon mayo. Also maybe a bit more black pepper for your tastes, and a sprinkle of paprika on top.
