Lightened Up Macaroni Salad #SundaySupper

June 29, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 53 Comments

Hello Everyone,

Today for #SundaySupper we are having a virtual picnic to celebrate US Independence Day on July 4th and/or Canada Day on July 1st! I love a big picnic! I only wish we could actually have a picnic together, then having one virtually! But I will settle for this kind of picnic for now. What I am bringing to our picnic is my Lightened Up Macaroni Salad! Yum!
Lightened Up Macaroni Salad #SundaySupper
I love a good macaroni salad, but honestly I hate the calories! So I had to take my traditional macaroni salad and make a few modifications to make it guilt free. My biggest change was using less mayonnaise and subbing in greek yogurt. Yup good old greek yogurt! No one even noticed the difference! I love that! I usually use more egg whites then full eggs but the family loves the eggs in the recipe, so I left them in.
Lightened Up Macaroni Salad
The salad is made with elbow noodles, celery, onion, salt, pepper and paprika. I love adding paprika to my salad, it adds a little bit of color and a little bit of different flavor. Plus I love adding paprika to my recipes that contain hard-boiled eggs.  As you can see from the above photo, I kind of went a little overboard with the paprika, but it mixes in well!  🙂
Lightened Up Macaroni Salad #SundaySupper
This salad is light, refreshing, guilt-free and tastes just amazing! If you’re a macaroni fan, I think you will like this recipe! Oh and get this it’s only 229 calories for a cup, which is pretty darn good for macaroni salad! I’ll take that! This is great paired with barbecue chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs and just about anything you cook on the grill!

A traditional macaroni salad that is guilt-free and lightened up by using greek yogurt! It's simply the perfect picnic food!
Serves: 8 cups
Ingredients
  • 6 cups water
  • 3 cups elbow noodles
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 cup onion, diced small (if your onions are string taste, cut back a little, use ½ cup)
  • 1 cup celery, diced small
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ tsp. paprika
Instructions
  1. In a large pot bring water to a boil, add your macaroni, bring to a boil and cook until tender. About 10 minutes. Drain your noodles and place in a bowl to cool.
  2. While your cooking your noodles, make your hard boiled eggs. Place the eggs in a medium pot, just cover the eggs with water. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Rinse the eggs under cool water and let cool completely. I place them in the refrigerator.
  3. To make the salad, add onions and celery to macaroni, mix until incorporated. Add mayonnaise, greek yogurt and mustard. Mix until well incorporated. Taste test the salad to see if you need to add salt.
  4. Peel and slice your eggs and place on top of salad. Sprinkle with paprika, if desired. Refrigerate the salad for at least one hour before serving.

    Brilliant, Jennifer! If we can substitute buttermilk in cakes with Greek yogurt why not in macaroni salad? Thank you for the recipe and the suggestion that egg whites can be used instead of whole eggs. Happy Light Independence Day!

    I love macaroni salad but have been avoiding it lately because it is usually so fat laden and loaded with mayo. I can’t wait to try your lightened up version. I need a macaroni salad fix soon.

I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
