Salads
Points per serving: 4
Yield: 8 servings
Difficulty: easy
Prep Time: 12 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients
8 oz uncooked macaroni, elbow-variety 
1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste (for cooking pasta) 
1/2 cup(s) reduced-calorie mayonnaise 
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard 
1/2 tsp garlic powder  
1 cup(s) celery, chopped
1/3 cup(s) red onion(s), finely chopped   
2 Tbsp parsley, fresh, chopped  
1/4 tsp table salt, or to taste   
1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste

Instructions
  • Cook macaroni in salted water according to package directions; drain and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard and garlic powder; stir mixture into cooked macaroni. Fold in celery, onion and parsley; season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm or chilled. Yields about 2/3 cup per serving.
NOTES: This is made with regular pasta - I would swap out for whole wheat pasta, though I'm not sure how it would effect the points values.  Comments on the WW said it's a good recipe to build on, add tomatoes, shrimp, etc. if you wanted to.
