I recently tried an Amish macaroni salad recipe, and it was a hit at our last family gathering. The creamy, tangy dressing pairs perfectly with the crunch of vegetables, making it a delightful side dish. Here’s how you can make it:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups elbow macaroni
- 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced sweet red pepper
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Cook the Macaroni: Start by cooking the elbow macaroni according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Set aside.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, white sugar, mustard, vinegar, salt, celery seed, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Combine the Ingredients: Add the cooled macaroni, chopped eggs, celery, onion, and red pepper to the dressing. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
