PASTA SLAW 2009

Steps:

• Cook 1 cup dry elbow macaroni in heavily salted boiling water until al dente, just to the tooth.
• Drain and rinse with cold water, drain well. Set aside.
• Grate celery rib, and onion.
• Chop the cubanal pepper into pieces about the same size as the macaroni.If you can not find a cubanal pepper I would use an orange or yellow bell pepper.
• I chose a cubanal so that it stays fresh and doesnt overtake the slaw clean flavours.
• In a mixing bowl add pasta, washed coleslaw mix, and chopped and grated vegies.
• In a small bowl measure the vinegar, sugar, salt pepper, salad cream and the mayo. Blend well.
• Toss dressing with vegies, and cover well with saran wrap.
• Chill at least two hours before serving.
• When I make this recipe I make sure that I have exactly two cups of cooked macaroni, and two heaping cups of cabbage slaw. The dressing amount is for that amount and works well.
• If you cant find Heinz Salad cream, don't worry as I had it in the house and used it you might need an tablespoon of cream or milk. But the English salad cream really adds that hint of flavour I like.
• Also maybe a bit more black pepper for your tastes, and a sprinkle of paprika on top.
