And because I eat it in moderation, I prefer to keep it as written. I have tried this recipe with Greek Yogurt, and it just doesn’t taste the same. Or for my vegan (or egg free) family and friends I will omit the eggs and use a vegan mayo. The blend of flavors was amazing! To make things a little healthier, I sometimes will use light mayo instead of regular mayonnaise. The ladies who did the cooking wouldnt share the recipe at the time, but I eventually got it. I substituted sweet pickle relish for diced sweet pickles and changed the yellow mustard to Dijon mustard. Overnight Fruit Salad I first tasted this rich, old-fashioned fruit salad at my wedding reception many years ago. So I decided to make the recipe that my grandmother had in her recipe box and see if it was the classic recipe that I was craving.īINGO!!! I only made two simple changes to that original recipe. That was the classic macaroni salad that I was looking for. That classic recipe that includes diced hard-boiled eggs and a few crunchy vegetables and is served nice and cold and tastes refreshing on a hot summer day. No thank you! All I ever wanted was classic macaroni salad! You know the one that has just the right tangy mix of mayonnaise and relish, mixed with a hint of mustard and is slightly sweetened by just a dab of sugar? Pimento cheese, olives, and even zucchini can be hidden beneath the noodles. The next time I tried it, it had so much vinegar that it made my mouth pucker.Īnd don’t forget all the variations and additions that you can add to macaroni salad. One time it was sooooo sweet that I couldn’t even finish my portion. Pour mayonnaise mixture over and stir gently to combine. Put macaroni, celery, carrot, onion, peppers, and olives in a large bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning and sweetness. I just couldn’t trust what it was going to taste like because every time that I would try it at an event or get together, it never tasted the same. Combine mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar in a small bowl and mix well.
I had never been a big fan of macaroni salad.
It is a go-to recipe that is served at nearly all picnics, potlucks or group events. Classic macaroni salad is delicious and a crowd pleaser at any event!
