BBQ Kielbasa Pasta Salad

with Sweet Golden Mustard Barbecue Sauce

time: 30-60 minutes | serves: 1 to 4

Ingredients

8-12 oz. turkey kielbasa, diced
1 pound elbow macaroni
1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 celery rib, finely chopped
4 green onions, sliced thinly
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp hot sauce
1 tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1 pinch of cayenne pepper
1 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1/4 cup Sweet Baby Ray's Sweet Golden Mustard Barbecue Sauce
1/2 cup Sweet Baby Ray's Buffalo Wing Sauce
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp canola oil

Instructions

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon canola oil over medium heat until simmering.
Add the chopped turkey kielbasa and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the meat to a paper towel-lined plate and let it cool slightly before using in the recipe.
In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt and the macaroni and cook until nearly tender, about 6 minutes.
Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse with cold water until cool, draining again briefly. Transfer the moist pasta to a large bowl.
Stir in the kielbasa, red bell pepper, celery, green onions, vinegar, hot sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Let the pasta sit for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Stir in the mayonnaise and Sweet Baby Ray’s Sweet Golden Mustard BBQ sauce and SBR Buffalo Wing Sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
Note: The salad can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Check the seasonings before serving and stir in a few tablespoons of warm water before serving, if needed to bring the salad back to its creamy texture.
