About

Cooking is as much about experimentation as it is about carefully following recipes, and this dish is the result of a seemingly simple question: can you combine coleslaw and pasta salad? The answer is a delighted yes, uttered between excited bites! Macaroni Coleslaw has tender pasta, crunchy celery, juicy green peppers, and hearty water chestnuts mixed with a refreshing coleslaw mix coated in a creamy, tangy dressing that wouldn't be out of place on your favorite pasta salad or traditional coleslaw. If Macaroni Coleslaw doesn't liven up the next barbecue, nothing will!
