Step 1

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Sprinkle the paprika and freshly chopped parsley over the salad for garnish.

Step 8

Refrigerate the salad for at least one hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve chilled and enjoy your low carb take on a classic Amish macaroni salad!
