RECIPE
Classic Macaroni Salad
Ingredients
- 1 box macaroni
- 1 cup mayo
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 1/2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Rinse under cold water and drain.

I am in love with your blog. You are so cute and your pics are to die for!
Love the picture of you! 😉 This sounds really good, but my mom had this recipe that will forever be the one and only for me! I looove macaroni salad…

Isn’t this funny? I haven’t had macaroni in such a long time. Too busy making macarons and should change that last letter to have this tasty salad, Kelly. Glad to hear you’re feeling better again!
Haha Sarah that’s awesome!! Let me know how you like it, so glad you had everything already on hand! 🙂
Kelly… I read this post, had all the ingredients, and decided to make it! It’s in the fridge chilling, but obviously I had to sneak a taste to make sure the flavours were right! Definitely a simple, tasty recipe and I’m anxious to see how the flavours develop as it chills! Great post!
Okay, I don’t like “salads” (potato, macaroni, etc) but I like making them. Is that weird? I’ll be busting this out for the Mr and maybe get some low carb pasta so a few diabetic family members can partake with less spikes to worry about.
Yum! I love macaroni salad and I really think that it is so underrated! I think this salad will be the perfect addition to my next tailgate! Thanks for sharing!
We have season tix to redskins games too!! With Hightower n moss out its not looking promising!
Going to give this recipe to my mom so she can bring something that’s a hit…for once.
I love a good macaroni salad! This sounds wonderful.
