MOM'S BEST MACARONI SALAD



Mom's Best Macaroni Salad image

This is, by far, the best macaroni salad I've ever put into my mouth. It has a perfect blend of sweetness and tartness, and it is so pretty with all of the multi-colored veggies. Be ready for this to disappear before you put it on the table! I have six children, and it is all I can do to keep them from nibbling on it while I'm mixing it up!

Time 30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

16 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
4 carrots, shredded
1 large red onion, chopped
½ green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
½ red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cup chopped celery
2 cups mayonnaise
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup white sugar
½ cup white vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Rinse under cold water, and drain.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the carrots, red onion, green pepper, red pepper and celery. Mix in the mayonnaise, condensed milk, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper. Add the macaroni, toss gently, cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. I usually make this a day ahead of time, and stir it occasionally to blend the flavors. The macaroni will absorb some of the liquid.

Fast, Easy, Delicious Macaroni Salad - Even Your Kids Will Love image

My father made this recipe for me years ago and I absolutely loved it! I make it for my children and my younger siblings and they all love it too. This macaroni salad goes great with just about any type of meat whether it's grilled, baked, or fried. Also, makes a great snack when you have leftovers and don't feel like fixing anything.

Time 25m

Yield 5-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb elbow macaroni
4 -5 tablespoons dill pickles, minced
2 -3 tablespoons black olives, minced
2 -3 tablespoons green onions, chopped (to taste)
1 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise (add more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard (optional)
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
1 -2 lb shredded cheddar cheese (to taste)

Steps:

  • Boil noodles like you normally would do. Until done. Drain the noodles. Put them in a large bowl and put in the fridge to cool. (Faster prep: Run them under cold water until cool then let sit so all of the water will drain).
  • Mince pickles and black olives. (Faster & easier prep: Buy dill pickle relish and already chopped black olives).
  • Chop green onions.
  • After noodles are cool add mayonnaise (more or less to taste) & mustard (optional) and mix together.
  • Add pickle, olives, & green onions and mix. (Can use more or less. I personally like a lot of pickles and little onion & olives).
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Put in the fridge to chill. (Sometimes you may need to add more mayo when ready to serve).
  • Add the cheese when you are serving. (I let everybody add as much as they want. Makes it fun for the kids).
