COOL AND CREAMY MACARONI SALAD
Don't drain the macaroni too well before adding the other ingredients - a little extra moisture will keep the salad from drying out. If you've made the salad ahead of time simply stir in a little warm water to loosen the texture.

Steps:
- Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in large pot. Add 1 tablespoons salt and macaroni and cook until nearly tender, about 5 minutes.
- Drain in colander and rinse with cold water until cool, then drain briefly so that the macaroni remains moist. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Stir in onion, celery, parsley, lemon juice, mustard, garlic powder, and cayenne and let sit until flavors are absorbed, about 2 minutes.
- Add mayonnaise and let sit until salad texture is no longer watery, 5-10 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
- (The salad can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Check consistency and seasonings before serving.).
