Time 4h33m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup mayonnaise
¼ cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or more to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon white sugar, or more to taste
1 cup finely diced celery
¾ cup diced red bell pepper
½ cup grated carrot
½ cup chopped green onions, white and light parts
¼ cup diced jalapeno pepper
¼ cup diced poblano pepper
1 (16 ounce) package uncooked elbow macaroni
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Whisk 1 cup mayonnaise, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until well blended; whisk in sugar. Stir in celery, red bell pepper, carrot, onions, and jalapeno and poblano peppers. Refrigerate until macaroni is ready to dress.
  • Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain but do not rinse. Allow macaroni to drain in a colander about 5 minutes, shaking out moisture from time to time. Pour macaroni into large bowl; toss to separate and cool to room temperature. Macaroni should be sticky.
  • Pour dressing over macaroni and stir until dressing is evenly distributed. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or, ideally, overnight to allow dressing to absorb into the macaroni.
  • Stir salad before serving. Mix 1 tablespoon mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon water into salad for fresher look.

CLASSIC MACARONI SALAD



Classic Macaroni Salad image

Creamy dishes like Alex's macaroni salad are a perfect match for fresh dill. "I love dill with mayonnaise," she says. "It's grassy and light."

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
1 small red onion, diced, soaked in ice water at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours
1 large red bell pepper, diced
3 scallions (green parts only), thinly sliced
Kosher salt
12 ounces elbow macaroni
1 sprig dill, leaves finely chopped
4 sprigs basil, leaves torn

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, soy sauce and hot sauce until smooth. Drain and dry the red onion and stir it into the dressing along with the bell pepper, scallions and a generous pinch of salt.
  • Make the pasta: In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add a generous amount of salt. Add the pasta and cook, stirring from time to time, until al dente (chewy but not hard or raw tasting), 6 to 10 minutes. Drain; do not rinse the pasta. Spread it out on a large baking sheet to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • While the pasta is still warm, add it to the bowl with the dressing and let sit at room temperature, 10 to 15 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Stir in the dill and basil just before serving and taste for seasoning.

BEST MACARONI SALAD EVER



Best Macaroni Salad Ever image

My mom made macaroni salad for potluck's, bbq's, picnic's, parties, etc during the summer when I was a kid. She taught me how to make it and I've been making it ever since then. A friend of mine came over for a get together and she added the beaver's sweet hot mustard instead of regular mustard and what a difference. It gave it that little something extra that just makes this mac salad stand out from the rest. Although you do want to go sparingly as a little does go a long way.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 ounces ditalini (package, small round macaroni)
1/2 cup green onion (sliced thin, it's about 1 small bussell)
1 (16 ounce) package cheese (cubed)
1 (3 7/8 ounce) can olives (pre-sliced)
1 (2 1/4 ounce) can olives (pre-sliced)
1 cup Miracle Whip
1 cup relish sandwich spread
1/4 cup pickle (finely diced)
1/2 tablespoon sweet-hot mustard (I prefer to use the brand Beaver's)

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.
