PIMENTO CHEESE MACARONI SALAD



Pimento Cheese Macaroni Salad image

This is inspired by a delicious and creamy pimento dip that my best friend makes whenever we do a weekend barbecue shindig. I decided to make a pasta salad version of that dish featuring elbow macaroni. The addition of diced red bell pepper adds a crunch of freshness that pairs perfectly with the creaminess of the ingredients. This fun and comforting salad is delicious warm or room temperature but can also be made in advance and served cold.

A food processor is essential so that we can turn the rustic pimento cheese into a smooth sauce that we can toss the macaroni pasta in.
