Amish Macaroni Potato salad has always been a favorite with our family and for carry-in dish dinners. I have often wished for a healthier version (without potatoes) and after numerous attempts I have come up with this recipe using spaghetti squash. Our family loves it and the serving dish comes back to the kitchen completely empty. Most people are surprised what is used to replace the potatoes but comment on how tasty it really is.

Amish Macaroni Potato Salad THM-S
- 1 box Dreamfield Elbows
- 4 cups cooked spaghetti squash
- 2 cups finely diced celery
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup finely diced onion
- 6 hard boiled eggs, chopped
Dressing:
Cook pasta following instructions on box. Drain and rinse well. Chop spaghetti squash so the strands are no longer than 3/4 inch. Toss together elbows, spaghetti squash, celery, carrots, onion, and eggs. Combine mayo, salt, apple cider vinegar, mustard, Gentle Sweet, and garlic powder together. Pour over salad and stir lightly. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours for flavors to combine. 12-14 servings.
**I often cook the spaghetti squash in the microwave, each half for 8 minutes.
