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!

Time 30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

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.

The Best Macaroni Salad Ever image

This macaroni salad recipe is creamy but still light, sweet but tangy, and has a wonderful mix of flavor, spice, and texture. And you can make it fast, in less than 30 minutes!

Categories     main dish     salad

Time 25m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 c. elbow macaroni
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1 tbsp. red wine or distilled vinegar
3 tsp. sugar, more or less to taste
1/4 tsp. salt, more to taste
Plenty of black pepper
1/4 c. milk (more if needed)
Splash of pickle juice, more to taste
3 whole roasted red peppers, more to taste (can also use pimentos)
1/2 c. black olives, finely chopped
6 sweet/spicy pickle slices, diced (about 1/2 cup diced)
3 green onions, sliced (white and dark green parts)

Steps:

  • Cook the macaroni in lightly salted water according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Set aside.
  • Mix together the mayo, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Splash in enough milk to make it pourable. Splash in pickle juice for extra flavor. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Set aside.
  • Place the cooled macaroni in a large bowl and pour in 3/4 of the dressing. Toss and add more dressing if you'd like. (The dressing will seem a little thin, but it will thicken up as the salad chills.)
  • Stir in the roasted red peppers (or pimentos), olives, pickles, and green onions. Add more of any ingredient if you'd like more stuff going on! At the end, splash in a little more pickle juice and stir.
  • Chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Sprinkle with sliced green onions to serve!

BEST MACARONI SALAD EVER



Best Macaroni Salad Ever image

My mom made macaroni salad for potluck's, bbq's, picnic's, parties, etc during the summer when I was a kid. She taught me how to make it and I've been making it ever since then. A friend of mine came over for a get together and she added the beaver's sweet hot mustard instead of regular mustard and what a difference. It gave it that little something extra that just makes this mac salad stand out from the rest. Although you do want to go sparingly as a little does go a long way.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 ounces ditalini (package, small round macaroni)
1/2 cup green onion (sliced thin, it's about 1 small bussell)
1 (16 ounce) package cheese (cubed)
1 (3 7/8 ounce) can olives (pre-sliced)
1 (2 1/4 ounce) can olives (pre-sliced)
1 cup Miracle Whip
1 cup relish sandwich spread
1/4 cup pickle (finely diced)
1/2 tablespoon sweet-hot mustard (I prefer to use the brand Beaver's)

Steps:

  • Get a pot of water to set on stove to a high heat.
  • While waiting for the water to boil, chop the green onions, cube the cheese, and dice the pickles. (you can place the diced veggies in a small bowl and set in the fridge -- you don't want the cheese to get too soft.).
  • Add the macaroni to the water and cook until aldente and drain out the water. Allow the macaroni to cool.
  • Add the Miracle Whip, sandwich spread, and Beaver's Sweet Hot Mustard and mix well. (if you find you need to add more of the sweet hot mustard please add a little at a time as it can over power the other flavors of the salad and be a bit strong tasting.).
  • Next add the veggies and cheese. It should be nice and moist. If it's too dry add a little more of the miracle whip and sandwich spread. Also you can add about 2 tablespoons of water if need be to keep from having too much of a miracle whip/or sandwich spread taste.
  • Serve imedately or put in fridge. If it becomes dry just add more of the miracle whip and sandwich spread as mentioned above before serving.
