Okay, so maybe there’s a better name for this recipe. But you get the point, right? Way, way, way, WAY too much food gets wasted in America! But there’s no need to waste food when you can savor it. My philosophy: Use veggie scraps and “make a hash, not more trash!” It’s a wonderful and environmentally-conscious way to enjoy vegetables in the morning (or anytime). Perfect for a Meatless Monday!

One serving of Classic Macaroni Salad with Grilled Peppers and Fresh Herbs in white bowl

I was asked to create a healthy macaroni salad, but to keep it classic. Basically, no overly frilly, fussy, or fancy ingredients allowed. That actually is more challenging than it sounds. Macaroni salad is considered “classic” for a reason. And try to always steer clear of ultra-processed or “fake” ingredients to concoct my recipes. That said, I was successful at creating this better-for-you version! I kept great taste and tradition in mind. And though not extra fancy, I did make this macaroni salad extra special by adding grilled peppers and fresh herbs. Enjoy this classic vegan macaroni salad with grilled pepeprs at your next cookout or picnic. I know I will!
