MACARONI SALAD

Macaroni salad, a cookout favorite, doesn't take much to be great - just the right amount of moisture and seasoning. This version draws its inspiration from the macaroni salad at the Kennedy Fried Chicken restaurants. For the perfect balance, use a more savory brand of mayonnaise here, since the recipe gets its sweetness from a bit of sugar and shredded carrots. Make sure the macaroni salad is cold when you serve it; the only time macaroni has to be served hot is when it's covered in mounds of cheese, like this Southern Macaroni and Cheese.

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook noodles until a little past al dente, then rinse under cold water and drain. Once the noodles are cool enough to handle with your hands, transfer them to a large bowl.
  • Add the celery, bell pepper, carrots and onion to the cooled noodles; toss to combine.
  • Prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper.
  • Pour dressing over the pasta mixture and toss until everything is well coated. Taste and season with more salt and pepper, if desired. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

FRENCH MACARONI SALAD

I went through many of the recipes posted and didn't see one quite like this- a french type dressing rather than the usual mayo base. Should be made ahead of time- my sister in law shared this one with me and we love it. I often use tri-colured pasta to make it even prettier.Of course, you can vary the types and amounts of vegetables used.
