Macaroni salad recipe with these ingredients....?

Question

Macaroni Noodles
Boiled Eggs
Tomatoes
Green Bell Peppers
Onions
Black Olives

My husbands aunt made it at a Christmas dinner and it was THE BEST I have ever eaten. I can't get hold of her to ask her the entire recipe. I cannot find it online. I need to know how much of each and if I need to use mayo, dressing, or sour cream with it. Any help????

Answer 1

I make a Macaroni salad using these ingredients, these are about what I use:

2 cups uncooked macaroni
3 boiled eggs
2 Roma(or small) tomatoes, diced
1/4 diced green pepper
1/3 to 1/2 diced onions
10 or so large black olives, diced

Boil you macaroni, cook until they are still just a little firm, this is so they can absorb more liquid from the other ingredients and your salad will stay a good texture.

Completely cool your macaroni before you do anything else.

In large bowl, place cooled macaroni, add all the other ingredients and toss..

Add 1/2 cup Mayo and 1/2 cup Miracle Whip(or a brand you like) Salad Dressing. Stir, add more of these till you get the right creaminess that you like..

Answer 2

This is a basic macaroni salad recipe which I use to substitute, add etc to make any changes- add eggs, tomato, onion and olive to this and hope that comes close

INGREDIENTS
4 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
2/3 cup white sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 large onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup grated carrot (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped pimento peppers (optional)


DIRECTIONS
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Rinse under cold water and drain.
In a large bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir in the onion, celery, green pepper, carrot, pimentos and macaroni. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving, but preferably overnight.

Answer 3

boil the noodles and rinse with cold water...add all the other items on your list, cut them and add to macaroni, mix with mayo, paprika season to taste. put alot of mayo so it can mix well with the noodles and chill.. sprinkle some paprika on the top.. you do not say how many people you want to serve, so i would say one bag of macaroni, 4 eggs , one tomatoes, half a green pepper half of a onion, i can olives will feed about 4 people if you need more salad or want some for left overs double up the recipe

Answer 4

I would guess that she probably put a little pickle juice in with some mayo. As for the other ingredients...just add a "handful" of each along with salt & pepper.

Answer 5

It sounds like ranch dressing or a creamy caesar would be a good dressing for it. Or combine mayo with sour cream, a little dijon, a little sweet pickle juice, salt, pepper and a touch of garlic powder.

Answer 6

Since you say it was the best, I'd suggest you wait until you can talk with the aunt and get her recipe. I'm sure she will be pleased to give it to you and feel complimented.

Any of us would just be guessing. I'm assuming you know it had a "white sauce" rather than Italian dressing.

Keep trying to reach your aunt!

Answer 7

Use italian dressing
2 cups mac boiled and drained
2 boiled eggs chopped
3 tomatoes chopped
1 pepper chopped
1 onion diced fine
1 small can black olives chopped

pour enough italian dressing over to mix well..enjoy

Answer 8

I don't use olives or tomatoes, but it could be done. When I make that recipe, I add mayo, and mix everything together.
