2 Tbsp parsley, fresh, chopped
1/4 tsp table salt, or to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste
Instructions
Cook macaroni according to package directions without added salt or

garlic powder; stir mixture into cooked macaroni. Fold in celery,
onion and parsley; season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm
or chilled. Yields about 2/3 cup per serving.
