This 5-Ingredient Macaroni Salad Tastes Like Summer in the Midwest

It's the only recipe you'll ever need. Growing up in the Midwest, my summertime memories are sprinkled with lakeside family reunions and get-togethers at my grandparents' farm. Each event was marked with long potluck-style banquets laid out in a colorful parade of glass casserole dishes and vintage Tupperware. As kids, my younger brother and I would covet the Oreo-sprinkled tins of dirt dessert and lumpy bowls of fluffy green Jell-O salads with maraschino cherries poking through Cool Whip. We'd inquisitively side-eye the dill pickle slices wrapped in cream-cheese-slathered dried beef and happily take a ham and cheese slider, cuts of salted watermelon, and of course, a scoop of cold macaroni salad. Why I Love Macaroni Salad A summer side legend, potluck staple and reliable barbecue companion, cold mac salad goes with almost everything we pull off the grill: chicken, steak, bratwurst—you name it. I grew up with bits of chopped ham (thanks, Iowa pig farmers), tiny cubes of cheddar and bright green peas in my elbow macaroni salad. My mother-in-law makes hers with chives and tiny chilled shrimp. I've even witnessed Southern iterations littered with hard-boiled eggs and diced sweet pickles—a tasty take that brings tang and a hearty bite to the dish, if you ask me. Traditional macaroni salad is built around cooked elbow macaroni pasta, diced onion, celery, and red or green peppers, and some sort of creamy dressing tying it all together. Typically that dressing is mayonnaise-based seasoned with a little salt and pepper, but some folks like to add spoonfuls of sour cream or yellow mustard, splashes of vinegar and pinches of granulated sugar to balance the acidity and enhance the flavor in the veggies. But I prefer a simple, quick throw-together macaroni salad, incorporating just five ingredients: elbow macaroni, red onion, celery, mayo and white vinegar. Easy peasy. My 5-Ingredient Macaroni Salad Recipe Prep Time: 20 minutesCook Time: 10 minutesChill Time: 2 hoursTotal: 2 hours, 30 minutesServings: 8 to 10 Ingredients 3 cups elbow macaroni ½ large red onion, diced⅓ cup celery, thin sliced¾ cup Hellman's Mayonnaise (or your preferred brand)2 tablespoons white vinegar Directions 1. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and run cool water over the pasta until slightly cooled, but still a little warm (dressing sticks better to warm pasta). 2. Stir together mayonnaise and vinegar and mix into pasta in a large bowl. 3. Add onion and celery. Mix well. Tip: To cut the sometimes overpowering red onion flavor, soak the diced onion in cool water for 5 minutes, and drain before adding to the pasta mixture. 4. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours, allowing the flavors to marry. The longer the macaroni salad sits, the better (up to 24 hours before serving). 5. Add salt and pepper as desired before serving. Read the original article on ALLRECIPES Solve the daily Crossword

U.S. Naval Academy gets first Marine superintendent, change of command ceremony held in Maryland

The U.S. Naval Academy held a change of command ceremony in Maryland Friday, where Lt. Gen. Michael Borgschulte became the first Marine Corps officer to be superintendent. Borgschulte was deputy commandant for Manpower and Reserve Affairs in Quantico, Virginia, before being nominated to be the 66th superintendent of the military academy in Annapolis. Borgschulte, who graduated from the academy in 1991, said he would safeguard its proud traditions while preparing future generations of officers for the challenges of an increasingly complex world. "The academy exists not to pursue academic rankings or institutional accolades — yes, we have those — but to fulfill a sacred mission, and that's to develop the next generation of Navy and Marine Corps officers who will protect and defend the freedoms we as Americans so often take for granted," Borgschulte said during a ceremony marking the change in command. John Phelan, the secretary of the Navy, called Borgshulte "a decorated naval aviator and a veteran of three combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan who's led sailors and marines at all levels." "He is someone who his fellow Marines describe as a military hybrid of modern tactics and ancient attitudes," Phelan continued, adding that he oversaw the highest recruitment and retention in Marine Corps history and will further cultivate "a culture of winning and warfighting here at the academy." "Get ready, midshipmen. It's time to buckle your chinstraps," Phelan said. This year, the academy commissioned 776 Navy ensigns and 258 second lieutenants in the Marine Corps. Borgschulte replaces Vice Adm. Yvette Davids, who in January 2024 became the first woman to be superintendent. Davids is moving to the Pentagon to be deputy chief of naval operations for Operations, Plans, Strategy and Warfighting Development. Phelan said Davids fulfilled her role with distinction, and she is the best person for the Pentagon post. "Vice Adm. Davids' experience, operational record and strategic mind made her the natural fit for the job and will serve her and the Navy well in this future role," Phelan said.
