Answer 2

This is how I make macaroni salad, and it couldn't be easier:

Boil a package of macaroni until done, and rinse in cold water to stop the cooking.

Mix together a cup of Miracle Whip, a tablespoon of sweet pickle relish, a tablespoon of sugar, and onion and garlic salt to taste. You can add more relish if your family likes it.

Add any or all of the following to the macaroni: a cup of small shrimp, deveined; a cup of Cheddar cheese cubes; small can green peas, thoroughly drained; 3 or 4 diced hard-boiled eggs; 1/4 cup diced celery; 1/4 diced red or green peppers.

Pour the dressing over the macaroni and mix thoroughly. Chill, and add a little more Miracle Whip before serving if the salad has absorbed too much of the dressing.

Garnish with slices of red and green pepper and slices of hard-boiled eggs, if desired.

Answer 5

The easiest macaroni salad I know of is made by just using a box of macaroni noodles, cut up some onion, add your choice of sweet or regular relish all to your taste and for the binder use mayo. I add tuna to mine but lots of people make it without. There are other things people use as well like celery but I'm not to fond of it.

Answer 6

This is my own recipe I made up years ago and I have been taking it to every family get together and it is always a hit. I don't have exact measurements, but that is the nice thing to taste as you go.

Cook up your favorite pasta al dente, drain, and set aside (use while still warm)

Add all the other ingredients to pasta in big bowl and fold in the dressing mixture last. This is better made the night before. This allows the flavors to marry.

1 jar of marinated artichoke hearts- reserve most of the liquid to add to dressing
1 can of chopped mild green chilis
a cup of shredded carrots
1 yellow bell pepper finally chopped
1 can of chopped black or green olives
green, yellow,or red onion finely chopped or you can use dried onions
1 package of boneless chicken breasts cubed in lunch meat section or you can use a rotosseri chicken or make your own chicken.

Dressing-

Mayo, mustard, salt, papper, your favorite italian dressing.

mix everything together in big bowl. Taste to make sure it has enough salt and pepper.

You only need 1/2 can of the green chilis

Answer 7

I like to put canned corn, peas, carrots, and diced tomatoes in my macaroni salad. also, onion, celery, cheese, and ranch salad dressing. You can choose the things you like and leave out the things you dont. I've also made it with italian dressing. Its good both ways.

Answer 8

Cut up some red bel peppers into small squares.
Throw in some cubed cheddar cheese and peas,(from a can or frozen peas that you have thawed. Then toss it all is some mayonaise, add salt and pepper, then voila!
