The Best Macaroni Salad Ever Recipes

Steps:

• Cook macaroni in lightly salted water till done. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
• Mix mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, milk and pickle juice in medium sized bowl.
• In large bowl place cooked macaroni. Add about 3/4's of the mayonnaise mixture to the macaroni. Next add the peppers, pickles, olives and onions. If needed, add the remaining dressing. Add a splash of pickle juice to the salad. The salad dressing will thicken up after refrigeration.
• Refrigerate for at least two hours before serving.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes; drain. Rinse with cold water to cool completely; drain.
• Mix macaroni, tuna, eggs, tomatoes, onion, and cucumber in a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk salad dressing and milk together in a separate bowl until smooth. Beat sugar, mustard, pepper, and salt into the dressing mixture; pour over the macaroni mixture and stir to coat.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

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.

Steps:

• While pasta is cooking start chopping up all the veggies.
• After pasta is done I rinse with cool water for a few seconds. This helps the soupiness factor (it will still be soupy just not as much if the pasta is cooled before you add the wet ingredients.).
• Mix in all of the ingredients.
• Place in fridge until it thickens up. It will look liquidy when you put everything together, but that is ok, it will thicken up in the fridge. I always make it the night before, or give yourself at least 4 hours in the fridge so it thickens enough and does not look like soup!

Steps:

• Boil macaroni and once cooked pour into large bowl.
• Add cucumbers, green peppers, relish and onions, mix well.
• In another bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, salt and black pepper. (Double sauce mixture for it to be more creamy, I always do).
• Pour mixture over cooked macaronie and mix well.
• Add chopped hard boil egg to macaronie and mix delicately (if desired).
• Let refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
• (You can also spread black pepper on the top before refrigerating, adds more flavor).
• To serve decorate with slices of green peppers (as many as desired).

Steps:

• Mix ingredients until well blended; refrigerate.
• I usually make this a day ahead so that the flavors meld.
• Before serving, i usually add more Miracle Whip.
