I like the convenience of this salad, which can be made ahead, as well as its nice blend of ingredients, reports Lucia Johnson of Massena, New York.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons water
4-1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1 cup uncooked small pasta shells
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1 cup shredded carrots
1 celery rib, chopped
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar and flour; gradually stir in water and vinegar until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Cool completely. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions; rinse in cold water and drain. Stir mayonnaise and mustard into the dressing. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients.
