Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 c. Medium shell macaroni, uncooked
- 8 ounce Roast beef, cooked, sliced in strips
- 1 c. Celery, sliced 1/4" thick
- 1 c. Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 c. Red onion, sliced 1/4" thick
- 1 c. Plain yogurt
- 1/2 c. Mayonnaise or possibly salad dressing
- 1/4 c. Fresh parsley, minced
- 1/4 c. Fresh tarragon, minced
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
Directions
- Cook macaroni according to package directions. Rinse with cool water, drain, and chill.
- In a large bowl, stir together beef, celery, tomatoes and red onions
- (separated into rings). Stir into macaroni. Chill at least one hour.
- In another bowl, stir together yogurt (I use non-fat), mayo or possibly salad dressing (I use light salad dressing), parsley, chives, tarragon (can substitute 1/4 tsp. dry tarragon for fresh), salt and pepper. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
- Can be served one of 2 ways:1. Place onto plates or possibly into bowls, and pour a spoonful of dressing over top, without mixing it together.
- 2. Pour dressing over the entire salad and serve in a large bowl.
- This is even great as a vegetarian dish.
