Classic Hellman’s Macaroni Salad

Posted by koolaidmoms on

For Mother’s Day I asked my family to spend a day cleaning – without complaining and a picnic dinner. I got both. They did a nice job doing the beginning deep cleaning for Spring. I still need to have them do the windows and baseboards but we are closer to getting it done. The dinner was delicious though. This is the perfect macaroni salad if you are looking for a classic macaroni salad. This recipe from an old jar of Hellman’s Mayonnaise is the most often used recipe in our family.

Verdict:

This has the perfect amount of sweet/tart and you can add the veggies you like to the dish. Add it to your grilled meats as a delicious side dish for your summer picnics.

    I make this without the eggs and I use bow ties pasta. I add thawed frozen peas and a small can of sliced black olives and I use red wine vinegar instead of the usual also I add 1/2 C of chopped red onion! Always a hit! I got this recipe off of the back of Best Foods Mayonnaise about 25 years ago. I haven’t seen it since
