Vegan Macaroni Salad

(1) 16-ounce box of gluten-free pasta noodles

red onion, chopped

celery,

green bell pepper,

red bell pepper,

peas

Cashew Mayonnaise

white vinegar or apple cider vinegar

maple syrup

2 ½ Tbsp dijon or yellow mustard

salt

black pepper

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the macaroni, and cook pasta according to the package directions for al dente texture. Transfer the macaroni to a colander, drain, and rinse under cold water.

Place the macaroni into a large bowl with the chopped veggies and toss until everything is mixed well.

In a small bowl, combine the Cashew Mayo, vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk until everything mixed together and it’s smooth and creamy. Pour it into the onion, celery, green pepper, red pepper, and macaroni and toss until well combined.

Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, but overnight is best. You can enjoy this immediately if you like, but it’s best once it’s had the chance to chill for a bit.

Shane! You did it again!!! This is so good! I am going to take it to a grad party in two weeks!

Rich, creamy, full of crunch and colorful veggies and no mayo! Healthy and delicious.

Delicious! I really enjoyed this recipe. Will definitely make it again.

OMGosh.....another Shane recipe to add to my fave list!!! This is so delish I can hardly stand it and it’s a good thing it makes A LOT!!! Used 100% whole wheat noodles; didn’t have peas so used fresh zucchini from the garden. I’ve never had much luck with dressings using cashews, but this is perfect  and has just the right amount of sweetness from the maple syrup. Thank you again Shane!!!

Wow, that's awesome Nicole! They're two of my favorite combinations as well:) Blessings.

Hi Shane! I made this recipe yesterday, along with your Cashew Mayo, of course! I love both and will definitely be making them again. I do need a better blender though. 

I used the mustard in the Mayo recipe but did not add more when I made the dressing for the salad. That is all that I changed, and that is only because I am not a huge mustard person.  Tastes amazing, and I am glad to have this favorite back in my life; I did not want to use the processed jarred Vegan mayonnaise that the grocery store has. I am glad they exist as an alternative to animal products though, and they do taste good. I am just trying to eat more whole foods instead of processed foods for weight loss at the moment. :-) Thank you for all of these amazing recipes; I love your blog. Also planning to make the chickpea curry and the lemon courgette pasta this week! I hope you have a great week!

Hi Shane,
I love your recipes...I know it's hard work to create recipes, and truly appreciate you sharing these recipes. I love the macaroni salad and make it regularly.

I love macaroni salad but haven't found a WFPB option that I really like. Until now!!! This is sooo good and really hits  that macaroni salad nail on the head.  I used half the amount of onion (dude, that's a LOT of onion in there!) and only about 1/3 of the maple syrup in the dressing as the mayo also has maple syrup in it, and it was fantastic.  So, so good! Anyone, vegan or not, who like macaroni salad will live this one. Brilliant! Thanks Shane!!

Made this today and I will say the HARDEST part of making this macaroni salad is WAITING 2-24 hours to eat it!!! I had a scoop before putting it in the fridge and it’s seriously so freaking delicious…that I can’t imagine how amazing it will taste tomorrow! We are pairing this with your BBQ chickpea sweet potato burgers…YUM!

Shane, 
I love this Macaroni Salad. The only thing different I did is added a diced-up cucumber in it and so good. It is a winner for my Spring and Summer menu.
Thanks for all your great recipes.

I made this today (a double batch and minus the celery because my husband hates celery).  This pasta salad was the absolute BEST pasta salad I’ve ever had.  My omnivore husband just asked me if I could make it again.  Big win on this one - thank you!!

I made this exactly the way the recipe called for and it’s so good! I will definitely make this again, and it would be a great potluck dish.   Great recipe!

Very good I used about 1/2 cup arugula.  The sauce is so good!  I'm glad I found this site.   I'm certainly going to enjoy all the recipes!

Vegan Mexican Macaroni Salad (Ensalada de Coditos)

A creamy macaroni salad that&#39;s just as delicious as the classic, but made with healthier whole food plant-based ingredients! A crowd-pleasing summer side dish and great for potlucks.

Vegan Macaroni Salad (Oil-Free!)

elbow noodles (gluten-free if desired)

celery

red bell pepper

pickle relish

Cashew Mayo

Tbsp. apple cider vinegar

Tbsp. maple syrup

Dijon mustard

salt (or less to taste)

Cook pasta according to package instructions, leaving al dente (slightly firm, not mushy).

Meanwhile, dice celery and roasted pepper. Finely dice onion. Chop dill. Place in a large mixing bowl with the relish.

Make the dressing: Place all dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Stir well to combine.

When pasta is done cooking, drain and rinse. Immediately add to bowl with veggies. Add dressing and toss well. Serve immediately or chill for an hour to let flavors combine further.

THIS IS SOOOO good. I used brown rice noodles and added a bit more relish then is probably reasonable lol. Thank you!

Imagine everything you love about macaroni salad but with a creamy vegan pimento cheese sauce made from whole foods. Easy prep and impossibly delicious! Vegan, soy-free, WFPB/oil-free, and gluten-free with your choice of pasta. Nut-free option included.

Vegan Pimento Macaroni Salad

water

red peppers, drained

Tablespoons rice vinegar

Tablespoons hot sauce (I used Crystal brand.)

garlic powder

onion powder

cayenne

dry macaroni elbows (use whole-grain or gluten-free, if needed)

celery (about 5 large stalks)

chopped yellow or orange bell pepper (about 1 large pepper)

red onion (about 1 small onion)

*If using a standard blender, first soak cashews in hot water for 1 to 2 hours (or soak seeds for 1 hour). Then, drain and follow recipe. In a high-speed blender combine all sauce ingredients. Gradually increase speed, then blend on high until completely smooth. Set sauce aside.

Cook pasta according to package directions. Immediately drain in a colander and thoroughly rinse with cold running water, tossing/stirring pasta until it&#x27;s cool. Drain well.

Pour about half of the sauce into the pasta pot. Add the macaroni and stir to combine. Add more sauce, and continue to stir making sure all of the macaroni is completely coated. It will seem very saucy at this point but will thicken as it sits and after adding the veggies.

Reserve a tablespoon or two of each of the veggies for garnish, if desired. Add remaining celery, bell pepper, onion, and pimentos to the pot. Stir to combine.

Transfer to a serving bowl, and sprinkle reserved veggies/pimentos on top. Refrigerate for one hour (or longer) before serving.

Seriously, so good. My husband says I'm obsessed.

This was very good! I used the hot sauce but left out the Cayenne pepper because I like a mild spice. It was just right me. I highly recommend this dish and plan to take it to my next vegan meetup!

Finally committing to going WFPB and this recipe will be in my rotation. I've been overwhelmed thinking about what to serve my formerly meat-loving husband but we both loved this! Made according to recipe and used chickpea penne-delish! Thanks for such a solid, easy recipe, Lori!

Lori, my entire family loved this and I wish I had made a double batch! It was gone in no time. Such an incredibly flavourful sauce, well done!! :)

Tastes guilty but isn’t. Sauce is so good on everything actually . Use as nacho sauce and on my Vege burgers w/ caramelized onions. This is one of a few life changing recipes. Lucky to know you. Keep cooking, you rock

OMG, delicious and so easy!!!  LOVE THIS!!  I put a bit of the sauce aside, and served it over roasted tofu/veggies and brown rice, and it was OUTSTANDING! :)  Thanks for a great recipe!!!
