Does anyone have a simple receipt for...?

Question

macaroni salad? Everywhere I look on the internet they add all kinds of stuff I'm not into. I'm just looking for something plain and simple. Thanks!

Answer 1

It's everyone's own personal preference on what to add. I've done just elbow noodles with some celery salt and black pepper. When the noodles cool, add just enough mayonnaise and some spicy brown mustard if you like to hold everything together and keep refrigerated.

Answer 2

got this off the net..hope it helps..


1 1/2 lb box of elbow macaroni
1/2 bunch of green onions - chopped
1/2 tsp salt (or more to taste)
1/2 ea. red, orange, green and yellow peppers. total: 2 whole peppers
2 tsp dijon mustard (generous)
1 1/2 cups Hellman's Mayonnaise
celery salt

Cook Macaroni in salted water. Drain noodles.
While noodles are still hot, mix in mustard and mayonnaise in large bowl.

Mixture should be wet, but not creamy. Stir in Onions and peppers and salt. Mix well.

Taste for salt and mayonnaise content. Add more if needed. Coat top of salad with a sprinkling of celery salt and stir in.

Cover and refrigerate a few hours to allow onion and pepper flavors to permeate.

Serve cold.

Answer 3

It'd help if you could give some idea of what stuff you're not into ... however, I can't imagine a macaroni salad without mayonnaise of some kind to bind and flavour it; then how about sweetcorn - drained and straight out of the tin; chopped chives help; some chopped chicken or sliced cooked frankfurters ... is that simple enough?

Answer 4

Our favorite; 1 lb. elbow macaroni cooked the way you like it, 1 can tuna in water drained, Miracle whip salad dressing. After macaroni is cooked cool down in cold water and let drain, add tuna and Miracle whip,till creamy. Let set in fridge till cold. salt and pepper to taste. ENJOY
