Step 1

Cook pasta in salted water according to box instructions.

Step 2

Drain cooked pasta and let it cool until no longer scalding hot.

Step 3

Dice celery and green onion and herbs while pasta is cooling. Combine all ingredients for the dressing in a blender or food processor and blend.

Step 4

Once pasta is cooled to room temperature, mix in celery and green onion (and other veggies if using) and refrigerate for a couple of hours, or overnight. Store the dressing in a separate container, in the refrigerator.

Step 5

It's best to serve this macaroni salad cold and to mix the dressing right before serving.

Step 6

When ready to serve, mix the salad with the dressing until evenly coated.
