Macaroni salad

This is an easy cold pasta dish that just requires mixing. It's very light, so you can enjoy it even in the summer heat. It's a classic summer lunch in Italy.The origin of this recipeI've been making this recipe often since my time in Italy.In the summer, Italians always make this pasta to get through the hot Italian summer. It's like the Italian version of cold Chinese noodles.

If you enjoy macaroni salad and deviled eggs, you will really like this macaroni salad! Tastes just like the two were combined!

I never thought that cream, mustard, smoked bacon bits and balsamic sauce would make an awesome combination to create a wonderful dressing or sauce, that you can enjoy warm or cold. #saladcontest

This is a triple threat salad. You have your beans/chickpeas for protein and fiber, your nutrients from the veggies and a bit of your carbs from the pasta! I love making big batches of these healthy salad as lunches, snacks, sides etc throughout the week. It's delish alone or mixed with leafy greens. Its so good you'll forget its good for you. ENJOY!

If your corn is exceptionally sweet, you can use the kernels raw, and you'll have an even fresher, crisper salad to enjoy in less time. But sauteing the corn does bring out a different flavor and texture, and each variation is worth trying at least once.If you're going to saute your corn, I suggest you do that first, set the corn aside in your salad bowl to cool, give it a couple of stirs or tosses to release some of the heat, and then do your knifework on the rest of the ingredients while the corn cools.And you already know I'm not such a stickler for upscale ingredients, but if you can get your hands on some sweet, flavorful heirloom tomatoes, they really do make the salad better.If you'd like to give it a slightly more complex flavor, some optional spices that would work well individually in this salad in small amounts (1/8 to 1/4 teaspoonful): cumin, chipotle, smoked paprika, coriander, or even a little curry powder.

We all like macaroni salad and there are many seasoning and flavors. You can choose and make your favorite taste. Putting more eggs makes the taste milder and a little bit soy sauce gives a nice flavor. Try and enjoy your taste!

Very good, healthy side. Have served it a couple of times, once warm, once cold; delicious either way. Nice twist on sweet potatoes, and a healthier alternative to traditional potato salad.

love this salad it's really good optional chicken or shrimp too

I learned this salad by my self.It was really good and it was very light this is something that a person needs for a slight hunger :)

With the beautiful days settling in, here's a Niçoise rice salad where you can add a bit of whatever you have on hand ✋

Very yummy you can add more or less as to your taste don't be stingy on the vinegar just keep tasting to see if you have enough I like a lot enjoy

If you're like me and you absolutely loooove tomatoes, then this is the salad for you. I eat this when I get the munchies or just need a quick mid night snack lol. It's so simple to make and so quick and very refreshing.

My mom and her mom made the best Mac salad I ever had. Their secret ingredient was a can or 2 of tiny shrimp. 😀

This salad screams summer with fresh sweet corn, cucumbers, and tomatoes from your garden or the farmers market. It won't last long in your fridge once you taste it but it will keep for several days (especially if you avoid salting the vegetables when you add your dressing). Use as a stand alone salad or pair with fish or chicken, great as a salsa for fish tacos. This fresh, healthy salad will help with these hot, hot days! Enjoy!

Maybe wings are my favorite part of the chicken, and they turn out delicious in the air fryer. As for the salad, instead of making it "edible," I've decided to make it "drinkable," which is very refreshing since it should be served very cold.

Tipical salad from greece, very fresh but not the lightest of all salads!!! (It can seem like a lazy way of adding the cheese to the salad but they do It like this in most places from greece)

A “ what’s in the pantry and fridge” recipe that hits your taste buds with sweet, salty and savory and is amazing warm or cold

You can enjoy plenty of nutritious quinoa. It's perfect as a low-carb substitute for a main dish.The origin of this recipeA friend taught me a delicious tuna salad rice recipe, so I adapted it using quinoa, which is lower in carbs.

I wanted to prepare a light yet luxurious looking pizza to serve for Christmas dinner with chicken, so I made this.Simmer the tomato sauce until it's no longer watery. If you add a lot of salad it will look great and taste great, but it will be a bit tricky to eat. Please use as little or as much as you like. You can cut the pizza up into small pieces and serve as hor d'oeuvres! Recipe by makkocafe

Today I'm bringing you an alternative to those lighter salads that we usually eat cold or at room temperature, which we start making in the spring and summer.

If you are looking for a healthy solution for your chicken leftovers, look no further. This classic chicken salad is the perfect lunch or snack. Make it into a cold sandwich, use it as a side or eat it as is.

I wanted to make a light tasting salad that took advantage of a mild tasting vinegar.If you serve it as soon as you mix everything together at Step 5, it will be very light tasting. If you leave it for a while in the refrigerator, you'll be able to infuse it with even stronger flavor.You can use your favorite herb salt or Krazy Salt instead of salt and pepper. For 2-4 servings.

My mom and boyfriend both have their version of macaroni salad, as I'm sure there are a dozen more here. I grew up with camping and mom would always have macaroni salad that would pair well with habachi grilled hamburgers. It takes me back to nice quiet camping with pup tents and a lake.

Delicious cold pasta salad for summer meals.#GoldenApron23

With this recipe, sweet potatoes add a touch of sweetness to the usual potato salad with mayonnaise.It can be served either hot or cold.

This recipe was inspired by a delicious salad served at my niece's wedding. Can be prepared the day before.

This is a salad that can be eaten alone or with a lighter main course. The warm roasted sweet potato works well with avocado and any salad ingredients in your fridge. For this recipe I also had some fresh apricots which I peeled, sliced thinly and added. A light sprinkling of Mirin or squeeze of lemon juice is really all the dressing required.
