This is a repost from last year. I have had a few people email me about this recipe this week alone, so I thought I would share it with my newer readers. It is a great recipe.
We were invited to a party last night and my husband asked me to fix a side dish. Since I knew they were having hot dogs and hamburgers, I decided to make a macaroni salad. I always get nervous when I make food for people.I am always fearful that they might think my food is gross and I will leave with as much food as I came with. thankfully, last night I came home with an empty bowl.This salad is so easy to make. It is a sweet salad, but tastes so good when it is cold and the flavors have melded for a few hours. I do not think it is as good right after making it. So plan ahead and refrigerate it for awhile before serving it. I promise it gets better as it sits. You can add and omit as well. Although I would leave in the celery and onion. I leave out the peppers if I do not have any (as in this picture), just as long as I have the onion, celery and egg. And it is kid friendly as well. I think they like it because it has such a sweet taste too it. As we left the party last night, I received a few compliments on it. I hope you do as well.

I love the simplicity of this recipe! It's hard to find macaroni shaped noodles here but I can easily substitute it with another similiar pasta. Will have to try this. :-)

ReplyDeleteLiz, this is one of the favorite recipes I've ever gotten from your blog. I make it almost every week in the summer. Anytime we are having company or invited to a cookout. Rarely are there ever any leftovers! Thanks for sharing such great recipes!
ReplyDeleteDeb, thank you for stopping by. I am so glad that you enjoy my blog. And the macaroni salad, I have to admit, is one of my favorites as well. It is hard for me to stop eating it when it is in the fridge.Have a great week, my friend. Talk to you soon.
