I am not a mayo person so foods like pasta salad, chicken salad, potato salad, etc. never enter my mouth. This never stops me from making it for others though. I was recommended this recipe for someone who does not like pasta salad. I tweaked it a bit (cut down on the mayo) so I actually ate it and enjoyed it! I hope you do too.
Pasta Salad
Adapted from Jamie Cooks
· 1 lb. Elbow Macaroni, or curly pasta
· ¼ large Spanish Onion (minced)

· 1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
· ¼ tsp Garlic Salt

Directions:
- Cook the macaroni in a large pot of salted water, until al dente. Drain & rinse under cold water. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the onion, chives, celery, parsley, lemon juice, mustard, garlic powder & chili powder.
- Add the macaroni & stir to combine. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes, for the flavors to meld.
