The Best Macaroni Salad Recipe

August 28, 2013 by Nicole 13 Comments

I know one thing for sure: by the end of the summer, I have had my fill of potato salad. I love a good potato salad, but enough is enough. It’s been at every BBQ and picnic for the past few months. No offense to you, Potato Salad, but I am taking you off the Labor Day menu and adding something else everyone loves. Maybe just as much as they love you. Macaroni Salad!

The Best Macaroni Salad Recipe

I have the best macaroni salad recipe. It’s so much better than the others, it can’t even compare. This macaroni salad is light and full of flavor from colorful veggies. I think it’s a really pretty salad to set out on the table. What do you think?

You’ll need:

  • 4 cups Elbow Macaroni
  • 3 whole Roasted Red Peppers
  • 1/2 cup Black Olives
  • 6 whole Sweet/spicy Pickle Slices
  • 3 whole Green Onions, Sliced
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon Red Wine Or Distilled Vinegar
  • 3 teaspoons Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • Plenty Of Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • Splash Of Pickle Juice (spicy Sweet Pickles)
  • Extra Pickle Juice To Taste

The complete Best Macaroni Salad Recipe can be found online at The Pioneer Woman Cooks.

    I love this recipe! It’s more colorful than my old go-to recipe which is great because I have been trying to fit more color and variety into our meals since we need to broaden the nutrients that we eat.

    I love all the bright colors in the salad. Half of what makes food good is how it looks.

    I would really love to try this mac salad I have never heard of adding milk before I am curious to see how creamy that would make it yummy.

    That bowl of macaroni salad would brighten any table, not just on a holiday! Thanks for the recipe–it’s one to try for sure. I love the addition of the pickles and pickle juice, and I imagine that really perks up the flavor.

    P.S. Hebrew National hot dogs are a favorite in our house. Pricey, but good.

    I love this recipe minus the peppers since I am allergic to them. I never thought to put pickle just in macaroni salad I bet it gives the dish an awesome flavor.

    That looks delicious. I typically don’t make maraconi salads at home since they’re not very popular there, but this might be worth a shot.
