Mamas Macaroni Salad Recipes

MOM'S BEST MACARONI SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Rinse under cold water, and drain.
• In a large bowl, stir together the carrots, red onion, green pepper, red pepper and celery. Mix in the mayonnaise, condensed milk, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper. Add the macaroni, toss gently, cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. I usually make this a day ahead of time, and stir it occasionally to blend the flavors. The macaroni will absorb some of the liquid.

MAMA'S MACARONI SALAD

Steps:

• Cook macaroni according to package directions using salted water.
• Drain and rinse with cold water to remove the starchy water and cool the pasta quickly.
• Shake the strained to remove as much water as possible from the pasta. You want it as dry as possible but not sticking together.
• Place in large bowl and add the veggies. (This really is best and prettiest when the veggies are diced small.).
• Mix all the dressing ingredients together- I usually put it in an empty jar with a tight fitting lid- like an old mayo jar- and shake-the kids like to do this part! (The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in refrigerator).
• Pour dressing over pasta and veggies and stir to thoroughly combine.
• Refrigerate.
• NOTE: Holidays: The red and green veggies look great at Christmastime!
• BBQ's/Picnics: Place the bowl on top of a bowl filled with ice to keep it really cold.
• You can use other veggies too- Great way to use up the garden goodies!
