Dilly Mac Salad in a black bowl

Dilly Mac Salad

by Mary Adner

If you’re from the East Coast or Midwest, you likely appreciate a tasty mayo-based macaroni salad. Look no further than this simple concoction I made up one hot summer day! Of course almost all recipes taste better with the freshest ingredients, but for this one it’s easy to use whatever you have access to.

Materials:

Colander

Big cooking pot fit for the large burner you like

Big spoon

Big knife for dicing

Big salad bowl

Timer

Ingredients:

1lb (16oz) small shell macaroni 

1 small clamshell (0.5oz or thereabouts) of fresh dill OR a crap-ton of dried dill 

Salt

Ground pepper

1lb (16oz) frozen shelled edamame OR green peas

1 yellow onion

Your favorite mayo (I use Best Foods’ plant-based mayo)

Lemon juice

Do it Up:

  1. Grab the pot and start heating water for the macaroni.

  2. While you’re waiting for the water to boil, dice up the entire onion and put all of it into the salad bowl.

  3. Once the water boils, add the shells and cook according to package directions. Usually 7-8 minutes for al dente, or longer if you like it squishier. After you drop the shells in and give it a stir, set your timer to 2 minutes before al dente time. (So if you want the shells done in 8 minutes, set your timer to 6 minutes.) Don’t forget to stir periodically!

  4. If using fresh dill, chop it all up. All of it. No skimping! If using dried, make sure you have nearly a whole container of it for maximum leeway according to your tastebuds. 

  5. When the timer goes off, grab your frozen edamame OR peas and pour the whole dang bag into the hot water. Stir. At this point, you only have about 2 minutes to go for great shells. 

  6. When shells are done, drain them together with the edamame (or peas) you poured in. Drain SUPER well.

  7. After draining for a while, you may choose to rinse with cold water. If you do, let it all drain for a while longer, stirring occasionally to get rid of excess water. 

  8. Once the draining is sufficient, pour the shells and edamame (or peas) together into the salad bowl.

  9. Add some heaping spoonfuls of mayo according to how much you love the stuff. Be sure it’s enough to cover all of the macaroni though. 

  10. Add salt, pepper, and dill to taste. If using dry dill, put in waaaayyyyy more than the salt and pepper. If using fresh dill and it’s not enough for you, I recommend not adding dry dill because the flavors will conflict. Just grab more fresh dill if you need it. 

  11. Stir it all up! 

  12. Taste it. Add more salt or pepper if you like. 

  13. Depending on the type of mayo you used, add lemon juice to taste. Typically, vegan mayo might need more of a lemon kick, but regardless the lemon will complement the dill. 

  14. Chill for at least a few hours for the flavors to set in. I find overnight in the fridge is best, or a couple of hours in the freezer if I’m impatient.

    Pro Tip: The more you make this, the easier it’ll be to modify according to your tastes!
