1 red bell pepper (chopped)
2 ribs celery (finely chopped)
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped sweet pickles

  • To make the dressing, combine the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon, sugar, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
  • When the pasta is completely cooled, add it to the bowl with the other pasta salad ingredients. Pour on the dressing and stir until everything is well combined.
  • Cover and chill macaroni salad in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. It will keep for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

KAREN'S MACARONI SALAD



Karen's Macaroni Salad image

This is my macaroni salad answer to my husband's hatred of celery! The green olives add a nice color and great flavor. Even if you do not care for green olives (I don't), they really work well here. I don't like macaroni salad without them now! NOTE: Sometimes I also add halved grape tomatoes for something different. I've also taken to adding a small amount of celery seed and sometimes a splash of white vinegar.

AUNT JUNE'S MACARONI SALAD



Aunt June's Macaroni Salad image

My Aunt June departed this earth recently and will be sorely missed. She was well known for her hospitality and had a way of making everyone feel welcome. Everyone loved her macaroni salad. It never lasted long at reunions and holidays. I usually make this without measuring so I hope I got the amounts right. Any ingredient can be adjusted to your taste. June used half the jar of pimientos and 6 eggs. I like a whole jar of pimento and a dozen eggs. The flavors are even better the next day. Preparation time includes cooking time.

AUNT WOOFIE'S MACARONI SALAD



Aunt Woofie's Macaroni Salad image

I have been making my Macaroni Salad like this for years. . The juice from the green olives and pickles really add to the flavor of the salad. Slice the olives and pickles before measuring them. This is really good if you make it the night before you are going to serve it. It gives the different flavors and juices a chance to blend really well. I don't like my pasta salads with a lot of mustard so I use horseradish sauce. You can replace it with more mustard if you want. I use the mustard for color only. Prep time is approximate. Cook time is the refrigeration time. This recipe can easily be doubled.

KAREN'S TUNA NOODLE SALAD



Karen's Tuna Noodle Salad image

If you were anything like me growing up, I hated even the thought of a raw onion or piece of celery *touching* my food.

If you like onion and celery, by all means add a diced amount of your liking to this sweet-and-tangy noodle salad!
