RECIPE: Jan’s Macaroni Salad

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

By Janice Splaha from Wickenburg, AZ

Macaroni salad is a must at summer cookouts. This version is made with simple ingredients and similar to what you’d pick up at a deli. There’s enough crunch and flavor from all the fresh veggies. The pasta and veggies are coated in a sweet and creamy dressing that has the right amount of tang to balance the flavors. A little sweeter than most salads like this, it reminds us of a Hawaiian macaroni salad. The key to the dressing is using good mayonnaise.

Ingredients

  • 2 c raw elbow macaroni, cooked
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3/4 c chopped celery
  • 1/3 c grated carrots

DRESSING
