Amish After Easter Hard Boiled Egg Veggie Cream Cheese Salad Food

ULTIMATE AMISH STYLE MACARONI SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the macaroni. Boil for 8 - 10 minutes, until tender, but not super soft. Drain, rinse with cool running water to stop the cooking, and set aside.
• In a very large bowl, whisk together the red onion, celery, relish, miracle whip, mustard, sugar, vinegar, salt, celery seed, and paprika. When the mixture is uniform, add the chopped egg and cheese, and whisk to distribute.
• Add the cooked macaroni, and toss with a spatula or wooden spoon to evenly coat all the macaroni with the dressing. Top with chopped chives if you want.
• Cover tightly with plastic wrap and keep refrigerated until serving. Can be eaten right away, but is the best after it has sat overnight.

DELUXE CLASSIC EGG SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese until smooth.
• Stir in celery, mayo, onion, sugar, lemon juice, salt and pepper until well blended.
• Add eggs and mix well.
• Serve on bread or croissants
• Sprinkle with paprika or add dill pickle relish or bacon if desired.

AMISH POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes into a large pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain, and set aside to cool.
• While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together 2 eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Stir in the vinegar, milk, and mustard. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the butter. Refrigerate until cool, then stir in the mayonnaise.
• Peel the potatoes if desired, and cut into medium dice. Place in a large bowl, and toss with the onion, celery, carrots, celery seed and hard-cooked eggs. Gently fold in the dressing. Refrigerate until serving. I personally like this to sit for at least a day before serving to let the flavors blend, but you may serve it as soon as it is chilled.

EASTER HARD BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a pot with enough cold salted water to cover.
• Place over high heat and bring to a boil.
• Boil for 5 minutes only, then take off the heat and let the eggs sit in the pot, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
• You'll get perfect hard boiled eggs using this method, without the outside of the yolk turning green.
• Drain the water out and either run cold water in or use ice cubes.
• If you don't cool them off quickly enough, they will develop a green skin between the yolk and the white.
• Peel the eggs, quarter and plate them.
• You can make these eggs a day or 2 ahead of Easter.
• If you wish to dye them, purchase "Paas" dyes or another edible dye version and follow the package directions.
