Gluten Free Pasta Salad

Ingredients

½ cup mayonnaise

4 hard boiled eggs, chopped

½ cup red onion, diced

1 cup celery, diced

¼ cup red pepper, diced (optional)

2 tablespoons jovial Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 tablespoon minced parsley

Salt and black pepper to taste

12 ounce box jovial Gluten Free Brown Rice Elbows

Instructions

  1. In a large serving bowl, mix together mayonnaise, eggs, onion, celery, pepper, oil and parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  2. Cook pasta for 12 minutes. Before draining pasta, remove ¼ cup of cooking liquid and add it to the serving bowl with the other ingredients. Toss in drained pasta and mix to combine all ingredients.
  3. Refrigerate to chill before serving.

The secret to keeping refrigerated pasta soft is to cook for 2 extra minutes.

  • Thanks Wanda! We aren’t nutritionists ourselves, but a nutritionist might be able to offer better dietary guidance if you’re looking for recipes that are right for you!

  • Is this on the same line of the Mediterranean way of eating?

  • We recommend a traditional mayonnaise because the flavor of the pasta salad would be quite different with a substitution like Miracle Whip. However, Miracle Whip will still give you the texture you’re looking for. Let us know if you try it!

  • Was wondering if you could substitute Miracle Whip for the Mayo?

  • This particular recipe adds a few minutes of cook time to help with texture after storing. Tightly wrapping the salad or having a piece of cling wrap on the surface of the salad will help retain moisture in the noodles.

  • How do you keep the pasta from becoming hard and then crumbling the next day?

    Does it help to have olive oil mixed in to coat the pasta or making a little extra sauce to use

    the next day for coating?
