PIMENTO CHEESE MACARONI SALAD

Pimento Cheese Macaroni Salad image

This is inspired by a delicious and creamy pimento dip that my best friend makes whenever we do a weekend barbecue shindig. I decided to make a pasta salad version of that dish featuring elbow macaroni. The addition of diced red bell pepper adds a crunch of freshness that pairs perfectly with the creaminess of the ingredients. This fun and comforting salad is delicious warm or room temperature but can also be made in advance and served cold.

Time 25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces elbow macaroni
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup canned pimento peppers, diced
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
2 tablespoon chives, fresh or freeze-dried
1 tablespoon smoked paprika, plus more for sprinkling
1 clove garlic, minced
Dash hot sauce (use your favorite)
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and diced

Steps:

Bring a large pot of salted boiling water to a rolling boil. Add the macaroni and cook until al dente, about 1 minute less than package directions suggest.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, mayonnaise, pimento peppers, Cheddar, chives, smoked paprika, garlic, hot sauce and a pinch of salt and black pepper together until thoroughly combined.
Transfer the cooked macaroni directly to the large bowl with the cheese mixture and mix until everything is thoroughly combined. Fold in the red bell pepper and garnish with more smoked paprika. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge until ready to serve.

While the pasta is cooking, mix up the dressing. Whisk together the mayo, yogurt, mustard, chives, pickle juice, pimento juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and smoked paprika until creamy.
Once the pasta is finished cooking, you can run it quickly under cool water to cool it down. I like to wait until the pasta is cool to the touch to continue.
Pour the dressing over the pasta and toss it well. Stir in the pimentos and white cheddar. Toss everything together well. I like to let this sit in the fridge and really come together for 20 minutes or so before serving,
