MOM'S BEST MACARONI SALAD

Mom's Best Macaroni Salad image

This is, by far, the best macaroni salad I've ever put into my mouth. It has a perfect blend of sweetness and tartness, and it is so pretty with all of the multi-colored veggies. Be ready for this to disappear before you put it on the table! I have six children, and it is all I can do to keep them from nibbling on it while I'm mixing it up!

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

16 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
4 carrots, shredded
1 large red onion, chopped
½ green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
½ red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cup chopped celery
2 cups mayonnaise
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup white sugar
½ cup white vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

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.

MODERN AMERCIAN MACARONI SALAD

Modern Amercian Macaroni Salad image

I watched diners drive-ins and dives and the once show had a wonderful looking pasta salad called Mama's Mac Salad that I just had to try and recreate, so here is my version! I used bow tie because that is what I had in the cupboard, the true Mama's salad uses shells, but use what you want or have on hand. The box said 6 servings- but once everything was cooked and mixed together it looked like more so I am guessing on the servings being 8.

Boil a large pot of water, peel and cube the celeriac in to big chunks, and boil for about 30 minutes, until the root is soft.
In the mean time, cook the pasta according to directions, drain (reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water, rinse the pasta, and set aside to cool.
Now, take your celeriac chunks, add them to a food processor, along with the other sauce ingredients. Blend until you get a smooth puree.
Once the sauce and pasta are done, make sure your veggies are all prepped (I did this during the boiling of the celeriac), and first add the pasta, then veggies, and finally the sauce to the bowl.
