Happy St. Patrick's Day
Yesterday was a really nice day! We started it off with a St. Patty's Day party at Megan Summers house with some great friends!!! We will sure miss those party's/play dates with our friends here in Iowa. The food was great (all green that is), and the weather was 70+ degrees, so the kids played outside. I am so ready for more warm weather. All the kids were too busy playing so this is all I could round up for a picture.
Here is the recipe for the pasta salad I brought to the party:
Marvelous Macaroni Salad
Dressing:
1 pint Best Foods Real Mayonnaise
1 cup buttermilk
1 envelope plus 2 rounded teaspoons from twin pack of Hidden Valley Ranch buttermilk Dressing mix
1 package Arby's Horsey Sauce (optional)
1/2 to 1 teaspoon mustard
1 pint Miracle Whip
2/3 cup sugar
Mix above ingredients in large bowl. Add the following
22-ounce package salad Macaroni, boiled, drained (I like using bowtie pasta)
2 cups celery, chopped finely
1 cucumber peeled, seeded, finely chopped
2 small zucchini, unpeeled and finely chopped
1 1/2 cup peas (optional)
1 bunch radishes, finely chopped (my family doesn't like these so I leave them out)
5-7 green onions, chopped
5-6 tomatoes, chopped
3-5 cups cooked chicken or turkey, cut into pieces
This salad is Delicious with our without meat and is best made the day before
