welcome back everyone to Katherine's
0:02
Plates i'm Katherine let's make the
0:05
absolute best macaroni salad to end all
0:10
others we have tender pasta we have
0:13
crunchy vegetables we have a creamy
0:17
together and there's a secret ingredient
0:23
it let's talk about the pasta that's the
0:25
first thing we're going to do i brought
0:27
a large pot of water to a boil over high
0:30
heat i have placed a lid on it because
0:33
it comes to a boil faster that way i am
0:36
using these elbows and this is a type of
0:39
macaroni and I picked this up from my
0:42
regular grocery store here in town HB
0:45
which is known in Texas this is one
0:48
pound and you want to make sure that you
0:54
and then we've got some salt here that
0:56
we're going to flavor the water with
0:59
which will help flavor our
1:04
pasta there we go you want a rolling
1:08
boil there goes our salt about half a
1:16
tablespoon we're going to add in our
1:30
we're going to give it a mix for about
1:32
30 seconds that will keep it from
1:34
sticking and we'll go back to it every
1:37
now and then and finish stirring it and
1:40
we're going to cook this until it is
1:42
tender generally it takes about 6 to 7
1:46
minutes whatever instructions are on the
1:55
package for a good crunch to your
1:58
macaroni salad and to give it some color
2:02
we're going to add some
2:04
vegetables that have a crunch to them so
2:08
I'm going to take some celery i pulled
2:10
this out of the center of the celery
2:12
stock to get these nice ribs here that
2:15
got the flowers on them because you know
2:16
I like these leafiness to my celery and
2:20
I'm just going to cut very thin strips
2:23
down the celery here and then I'm just
2:28
knife through all the way down to the
2:36
end i have three ribs here
2:40
now the ribs of celery come off of the
2:44
stock i love celery in any type of
2:50
salads all right all the way down make
2:53
sure it's nice and small you don't want
2:55
big chunks in our macaroni salad woo
2:59
y'all you know what that smells like woo
3:04
i've got some green onions now I've
3:06
already cleaned them off and took the
3:08
ends off and I'm going to start on the
3:10
green end here let's move that out of
3:12
the way a little bit then we'll go
3:16
in cut them we want everything the same
3:21
size now I'm cutting these while my
3:24
pasta is cooking we're
3:28
multitasking and I'm going to go all the
3:30
way down to the white
3:33
we got one pound of pasta so I want to
3:36
make sure we have enough vegetables for
3:40
bite got a bell pepper we're just going
3:45
off around the whole pepper
3:51
out run your knife through into strips
3:58
just think of all the colors of the
4:00
peppers you can use because it's
4:02
summertime the orange the red the yellow
4:05
really will give it a nice pop to our
4:07
macaroni salad so I've turned my peppers
4:11
the strips around and then I'm just
4:18
through all right the time is up for my
4:21
pasta i'm just going to go in i'm going
4:23
to give that a try and make sure it's
4:26
all right let's drain
4:37
it all right we're going to drain the
4:39
pasta we're going to run cold water over
4:42
it until the pasta cools
4:46
down add some ice it'll cool it down
4:53
now I'm just going to take some paper
4:54
towels and I'm just going to blot the
4:56
pasta move it around and get some of
4:58
that excess water off before we dump it
5:11
to add a different flavor to our
5:13
macaroni salad I'm going to be adding in
5:15
some roasted red bell pepper instead of
5:18
just the regular bell pepper off the
5:21
plant these are going to be good and
5:23
this is mild so you'll be able to take
5:27
that flavor now this is not the secret
5:29
ingredient hang on to that
5:33
this will add another flavor profile and
5:36
also add a nice color to the
5:41
green what do y'all think that right
5:43
there we'll chop this up and see what we
5:52
do probably more of a dice that's what
5:57

6:01
going to do now is add this to our pasta
