Macaroni Salad is a classic, refreshing dish perfect for picnics, barbecues, and potlucks. It's a creamy and tangy salad with a delightful mix of textures and flavours.
Macaroni Salad is a colorful and delicious cold pasta salad. It starts with perfectly cooked elbow macaroni, then tossed in a creamy dressing made from a combination of mayonnaise and Greek yogurt for a smooth, tangy base. This dressing is sweetened slightly with white sugar and brightened with distilled white vinegar and apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Dijon mustard adds a hint of sharpness, while salt and ground black pepper balance the flavours.
Thanks to an array of fresh vegetables, the salad is vibrant and crunchy. Chopped onion adds a bit of sharpness, while celery and green bell pepper contribute a satisfying crunch. Grated carrot brings a touch of sweetness and color, and diced cucumbers add a refreshing, cool bite. Drained pimento peppers (or red bell pepper) offer a mild sweetness and a beautiful red hue.
You can mix in chopped fresh herbs like parsley, dill, and chives for extra flavor and texture. These add a bright, herby note. Chopped hard-boiled eggs can provide richness and additional protein, while shredded cheddar cheese introduces a creamy, savory element. Cooked bacon bits are a popular addition, giving the salad a smoky, crispy texture that contrasts beautifully with the creaminess of the dressing and the crunch of the vegetables.
