Preparation

Step 1

Cook the macaroni according to the package directions al dente. Set aside the seasoning packets. Drain the macaroni and rinse under cold water until the pasta is cool.


In a large bowl, combine the celery, cucumber, carrot shreds, green onions, chicken, blue cheese, and chopped bell pepper.

Toss with the cooled macaroni.

In a large measuring cup, whisk together the Greek yogurt or sour cream, the seasoning packets from the macaroni and cheese, the minced garlic, and red wine vinegar.

Add the Greek yogurt mixture and toss to coat.

If possible, refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
