Marvelous Macaroni Salad.
I just made this, and it's yummy.
INGREDIENTS
12 oz package of silken tofu
3 cloves garlic, peeled (more if you like garlic. I love garlic.)
1 medium shallot, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup soymilk (go easy on the soymilk)
1/2 cup eggless mayonnaise
2 T red wine vinegar
1/2 t sea salt
Pasta twists. (I use gluten free pasta)
1 t dried thyme
2 cup chopped red onion
1 cup peas, lightly steamed. Just enough to make them tender.
1 cup bell peppers (I actually added much more.)
1 cup garbanzo Beans
1 cup mushrooms
1 cup of celery.
You can add more goodies that you might like into this salad.
Mix it up....
Cube the tofu (tiny), or pop it in a food processor. Add the pressed garlic, and cut shallot. Add the soymilk, mayonnaise, vinegar and salt (pepper if you like, I Like) and anything else that makes you happy.
Cook pasta according to package instructions, (important to not over cook pasta) Drain, and Stir in all the other goodies. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
I made up a second bowl of the Macaroni Salad for when guests come over for dinner.
It freezes well.
Side Note:
Vit C doesn't like being frozen... It's not even fond of cold temps at all. So when you freeze fruits and vegs with high content of C... you loss some nutrients. But no matter how you *slice* it.... it's a bunch better for you than the stuff with preservatives chalked into it.
