Macaroni Salad

I am looking for a recipe for Macaroni salad. Nothing fancy. Is it better to use miracle whip, or mayonnaise? Also, I am looking for a recipe for pasta salad. Any recipes would be appreciated. Please list the amount of ingredients used for both recipes.

Thanks,
P.J. from Delaware

Drain macaroni and while still warm mix all ingredients except tomatoes tuna and cheese.
If you need extra miracle whip add small amounts at a time. Now once mixed chill for at least one hour or more then add the remaining ingredients
mix well. Very filling meal you can add other veggies according to your preference but may need more miracle whip. Good luck! (07/21/2006)

Pasta Salad

Last night I had some leftover angel hair pasta so made some pasta salad with imitation crab meat, it was delicious.

I don't measure anything, just chop everything fine. I like it with about half as much veggies as pasta...finely chopped carrots, onions, celery, peppers, tomatoes, cauliflower. For dressing use sweet and sour dressing or make some up.

I like mine with not much dressing, feel it's better for us. For about 2 cups of pasta, 1 cup of veggies, and one package of imitation crab meat I put in about.

• 3 T red wine vinegar (any kind would do)
• 3 T sugar
• 4 T olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Natural Blend for Salad (or use oregano, basil, paprika, one teaspoon total)

Whisk these up then add the other ingredients and give it an hour or so to blend flavors. You can't go wrong really, lots of crunch, a little flavor, and pasta...it works.

Macaroni Salad Recipe

I had a grandmother friend give me this recipe for the salad: Macaroni, eggs, mayonnaise, relish, onion and I add green peppers if I have them. Here is the secret ingredient: a small amount of French dressing. It makes it a pretty orange colored salad and spices up the salad a bit. (07/24/2006)
