Simple Macaroni Salad Recipe | This summertime favorite salad is made with simple ingredients and dressed with a light creamy mayonnaise dressing. Perfect for barbecues, family reunions and potlucks. A versatile salad that can be customized to your family.
I love how this Simple Macaroni Salad Recipe compliments any grilled or smoked main dish. The flavors are simple, not too strong but add just the right amount of flavor.
Here are a few of my favorite main dishes to serve with my Simple Macaroni Salad Recipe. The Perfect Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Loaded Chili Cheeseburgers or Slow Cooker Spicy Meatball Sliders.
As I said before the great thing about this salad is its versatility. This is my husbands favorite salad so I customize it to what he likes. The same can be done for your family. Some addition ideas are red or green bell peppers, onion, relish, peas or chunks of cheddar cheese.
Add the dressing while the pasta is still hot. The pasta will absorb the most flavor while it’s hot.
