This is exactly how I make my macaroni salad, except for 1 thing, never thought of putting pimentos in it! Will have to try that! Thanks

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR MAMA, EARLY…..

I’ve never had a recipe for mac salad, but anytime I made it for a get-together. I put everything in the fridge that I thought would taste good; carrots, bell peppers, dill pickles, olives, zuccini, sharp cheddar cheese and Best Foods mayonaise. (The two things I never skimp on are mayonaise and oil.)
If you are afraid of the mayonaise going bad, there’s another mac salad made with feta cheese, olives, bell peppers, zuccini and italian salad dressing. There are a lot of variations of that one, too.
I love them all. (While I don’t like “chunks” of onion, if you grate it finely, you get the taste, but not the bite.)

Love your site,l your recipes and your GREAT OUTLOOK on life…..

I was born and raised in charlotte,nc….have lived in appalachia for 17 years or so…every summer is started with a craving for fresh cold mac salad…. all the ladies in my family would make it the same way…with good ole fresh out of the garden tomato and cukes, a little onion, real mayo,(you know the ones, dukes,hellmans or jfg,..sauers was common when i was little.) add a little salt, celery seed, and alot of black pepper. chill overnight….especially if its for company…..mmmmmm.

my macaroni salad has green peppers, red onion,carrots eagle brand milk , sugar, vinegar, mayo, salt and pepper. It looks like it may have more dressing than the one above. Really good but makes a ton.

I’m transplanted to the north and never liked macaroni salad until I had it here…where its a staple in the delis. Its made like yours except no relish and add cubed cheese (you have to put cheese in everything in Wisconsin…and not that Velveeta stuff – I’m pretty sure you would be shot if you used that) and defrosted frozen green sweet peas (toss ‘em in to the macaroni water just before draining).

Hands down, the BEST macaroni salad recipe I’ve ever had. Especially if you’re a celery unliker like me! Just got finished making a double batch and had to sneak out a bowl for myself before putting it away.

I had never even HEARD of macaroni salad until a restaurant here in Decatur substituted it one day for the pea salad, which they were out of. I LOVED it! And I do eat it from the grocery store, because I never could figure out how to make it. Thanks for the recipe! The restaurant is now gone, along with the divine pea salad and chicken salad – sob!
