Mardi Gras Macaroni Salad-Dyed Pasta

So-many-possibilities... The starting point for this Mardi Gras Macaroni Salad is dying the pasta gold, green and purple, from there, what sounds good? Want a simple pasta salad with a little Cajun seasoning-done. Want a Muffaletta Pasta Salad by adding deli meat and cheese and some pickled peppers or giardiniera-done. How about a Cajun Seafood Pasta Salad by adding some shrimp and crab-um, also done:@) Have fun with it and change it up to your liking, you know your crowd.

Colorful and festive!

Directions for Dyed Pasta:
  1. For each cup of cooking water use 20 drops of food coloring. (Use a little less blue than red for the purple.)
  2. Cook pasta per directions on the package or until desired doneness, drain and run under cold water until the water runs clear.
  3. Make your favorite pasta salad recipe and enjoy!
