I substituted sweet pickle relish for diced sweet pickles and changed the yellow mustard to Dijon mustard. So I decided to make the recipe that my grandmother had in her recipe box and see if it was the classic recipe that I was craving.īINGO!!! I only made two simple changes to that original recipe. That was the classic macaroni salad that I was looking for. That classic recipe that includes diced hard-boiled eggs and a few crunchy vegetables and is served nice and cold and tastes refreshing on a hot summer day. No thank you! All I ever wanted was classic macaroni salad! You know the one that has just the right tangy mix of mayonnaise and relish, mixed with a hint of mustard and is slightly sweetened by just a dab of sugar? Pimento cheese, olives, and even zucchini can be hidden beneath the noodles. The next time I tried it, it had so much vinegar that it made my mouth pucker.Īnd don’t forget all the variations and additions that you can add to macaroni salad. One time it was sooooo sweet that I couldn’t even finish my portion. I just couldn’t trust what it was going to taste like because every time that I would try it at an event or get together, it never tasted the same. I had never been a big fan of macaroni salad. It is a go-to recipe that is served at nearly all picnics, potlucks or group events. Classic macaroni salad is delicious and a crowd pleaser at any event!
