It's that time of the season for family travel and Road Trips to vacation lands. Putting the fun aside, road trips can be a daunting task when staying healthy while on the road and saving some $$$ at the same time is your top priority! This job calls for sheer creativity. For someone who travels a lot like me, only the versatile dishes makes it to my must-bring list. Unfortunately, those dishes I have in mind don't fare well on long road trips. So what to do? I create one. Or sometimes, two. But here's one of them for you.
Traveler's Macaroni Salad. Created out of love (of course), combining the comfort goodness of pasta with a dash of spice, topped with fresh vegetable selections into an easy-to-make, simple ingredients, great-for-travel-yumminess dish the whole family will love.
Ingredients: Serves 3-4 people
1 small pack of macaroni pasta (cooked according to instructions)
5 tbsp. Miracle Whip lite (more if creaminess is desired)
2 stalks of celery - diced
1/2 cup diced sweet red bell pepper
1/2 cup diced sweet green bell pepper
1/2 cup diced sweet yellow bell pepper
1/2 cup raisins
salt and ground pepper to taste
In a big bowl, put cooked pasta, vegetables and fold in miracle whip. Stir to mix. Add salt and pepper according to taste. Voila! You're done. Refrigerate to chill if desired.
Parent tip: Dice the vegetables really small if you have picky eaters. You can also add Jalapeno slices to amp the spiciness of the dish if you're one of them spicy god/dess and shredded carrots for added veggies.
Enjoy and have a sumptuous, fantabulous trip!
