Ingredients
- 200 grams shirataki noodles
- 2 large hard-boiled eggs
- 2 stalks celery
- 0.5 red bell pepper
- 0.5 small onion
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard

- 1 tablespoon erythritol sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoon celery seed
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
Begin by preparing the shirataki noodles. Drain them from the package and rinse thoroughly under cold water for about 2 minutes to remove any packaging odor.
Transfer the rinsed noodles to a dry skillet over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to remove excess water. Set aside to cool.
Chop the hard-boiled eggs into bite-sized pieces.
Dice the celery stalks, red bell pepper, and onion into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, erythritol sweetener, celery seed, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the dressing.
Add the cooled shirataki noodles, chopped eggs, diced celery, red bell pepper, and onion to the bowl with the dressing. Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Sprinkle the paprika and freshly chopped parsley over the salad for garnish.
Refrigerate the salad for at least one hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy your low carb take on a classic Amish macaroni salad!
