Amish pasta salad is a traditional dish originating from Pennsylvania Dutch Country, where the Amish people live and work. Although there are variations, the pasta salad is usually made with a combination of macaroni, scallions, bell peppers, hard-boiled eggs, and celery.
The ingredients are mixed and dressed with a mixture of mayonnaise, crème fraîche, mustard, sugar, white wine vinegar, celery seeds, salt, and pepper. Once all the ingredients have been coated with the dressing, the pasta salad is placed in the fridge to cool before serving.
