Macaroni salad

[Airehead]

What do you put in yours?

[Ralphie ★]

My mother's is awesome.  Mayo, onion, cukes, pickle, tomato.

I don't make it but love the Hawaiian mac salad. But I refrain these days but I used to put it down.

[Wilbur ★]

Never made it.  Sorry.

I would probably put a little finely chopped shallot, some red bell pepper, finely chopped dill pickle and some sort of mayo based/ mustard dressing.

I always put a little macaroni in mine....

Chopped celery & onion, chopped hard boiled egg, chopped red & green pepper,

I make it that way but I add black olives, dill pickle, grape tomato, mayo or Miracle Whip, and the cheese powder from a package of Kraft mac and cheese.  (you can use the macaroni from the Kraft too).

The olives sound good, the kraft cheese powder not so much

You should try it one time. It does add a really nice flavor to the salad. My wife always made it that way and everyone asks her for her recipe. She laughs and said it' snot a recipe. She also puts thinly sliced carrots in it.

I found this years ago, like it a lot, and have been making ever since though I usually leave out the tomatoes.
