As I started watching this video and seeing the ingredients, I"m like... Oh, a summer salad. I then found myself waiting for the chickpeas to show up (because I didn't read pasta salads in the title). Then suddenly... ELBO MACARONI! (Insert GASP!) This video made me realize I haven't seen a macaroni salad at a family event since Mom died in 2015! I had forgotten all about them! She used to make salads in those big 5 quart Tupperware bowls with the snap on lids. A Midwestern mom necessity. It was as if those bowls were part of a societal "starter kit" for women in the 50's and 60's. UHG! So many thoughts swirling through my head. This was one of Mom's summer staples. How could it have gotten so forgotten?! Macaroni salads are SOOOOOOO versatile and customizable. Mom would always use hard boiled eggs and tuna in her salads. Why this is my memory I don't know? One of the key herbs I would encourage you to consider.... DILL! Mom's salads always popped with dill. And your comment about not wanting to be on the receiving end of.... So; Who made the pasta salad? I almost spit out my coffee in laughter. Thanks for all these memories. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! Stay amazing and keep up the great work! PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAACCCCCCCE!

Love this one!! The "concrete" Tupperware's LOL! Those things should be heirlooms.... I didn't show me cutting it but i added dill, because MOM's know best! You can see it in the final shot of that first one (the mac one). I am so so happy I was able to help encourage the memory bank. Great memories are worth more than everything! thanks for sharing! 🤗

I made the first salad (with some substitutions for what I had on hand). It was delicious! I'll be making it again. My substitutions were: bowtie pasta instead of elbows, white onion instead of red, no olive oil, Japanese mayo but used less ( for lower calories) and added Greek yogurt to make up for the quantity, I didn't have sweet pickles, so I use cornichon (and juice) which I always have on hand, I used honey instead of sugar/agave, and since I don't have a blender, I just hand stirred, and finally I forgot to add scallion, but I would have subbed garlic chives because that is what I always have growing in my garden. It's a lot of changes/subs, but goes to show what a great recipe it is, that you can use what you have on hand and it still results in deliciousness!

the creamy italian dressing was mind blowing!!! why have i never seen this done before! totally making that this weekend but honestly...i'm gonna add a lot more garlic😅
