4th of July Recipe Exchange
Barrie invited me to join in a fun 4th of July-inspired recipe exchange. I decided to share my MIL’s recipe for macaroni salad. I don’t know where she got the recipe, but I’ve gotten a lot of rave reviews. And it makes a big old bowl, marinating itself as the days go by…
Marinated Mostaccioli *
(As evidenced by the name of the recipe, it calls for mostaccioli, but as I think that noodle is a little unwieldy, I use penne–just as good)
1 16 oz. pkg mostaccioli (penne), cooked and drained
Cook the following together:
1 1/2 c. cider vinegar
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. coarse pepper
1 tsp. garlic or garlic salt
2 Tbsp. prepared mustard
Chop:
1 medium red onion
1 medium cucumber
1/2 gr. (or colorful) pepper
Mix noodles, vegetables, and marinade. MUST stand overnight.
Enjoy!
Now, head over to Barrie’s to see what other yummy recipes have been shared!
Happy 4th!

This sounds fantastic! My family loves penne pasta. So, I’ll do that substitution, too. Thanks for joining in.
