KINDA AMISH MACARONI SALAD



Kinda Amish Macaroni Salad image

Why only "kinda" Amish? Good question - shows you're paying attention. While the recipe from which this was adapted proudly proclaimed to be Amish Macaroni Salad, I found it to be much too sweet and not eggy enough for our tastes. After playing a bit with proportions and trying different types of vinegar and mustard, this is what resulted -- and although it's only Kinda Amish, it is, indeed, Very Deelish. You may save one hard cooked egg and slice it to arrange on the top, then sprinkle with paprika. Or you can just put all of the eggs in the salad and mix in some paprika too, and garnish with a few little tufts of fresh parsley. Or, for the presentationally-impaired like myself, just use all the eggs right in the salad, and forget the paprika and parsley. Parsley's always a little bit suspicious in my book anyway - once I got some parsley from a salad bar and it was plastic. Yeah, it was part of the decoration, but you know, they could warn people. "Attention Restaurant Patrons: Salad Bar Decorations Are Non-Edible. Everything Else Is Okay To Eat. No, Really. We Mean It." Oh, by the way, you'll want to prepare this a day ahead, and chill overnight in a padlocked refrigerator. Otherwise, it'll vanish long before you planned to serve it.

Time 40m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups mayonnaise
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard (no other kind will taste right!)
1 lb elbow macaroni
1/2 cup celery, chopped fine
1/2 cup carrot, chopped fine
1/4 cup onion, chopped fine
8 -10 hardboiled egg, diced (big chunks are okay by me, but chop them small if you like)
paprika or parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar and mustard; Chill in refrigerator until needed.
  • Cook macaroni as directed on package, just until tender; drain and cool.
  • Combine macaroni with celery, carrots, onions and eggs.
  • Pour mayonnaise mixture over all and stir to mix well.
  • Refrigerate overnight in tightly sealed container.
  • It may seem a bit wet at first, but after it chills overnight, it's just right.
  • There's no salt in this recipe-- if you must, add 1/2 teaspoon to the mayonnaise mixture.
  • We're not sodium restricted and we like it just fine without.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Fresh vegetables, crisp macaroni, and a flavorful dressing will make all the difference.
  • Don't overcook the macaroni. It should be al dente, with a slightly firm bite.
  • If you're using a food processor to chop the vegetables, be careful not to over-process them. You want them to retain some of their texture.
  • Taste the dressing before adding it to the salad. Adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for a few hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Sweet Amish macaroni salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, or any other gathering. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of sweet and tangy flavors, along with the creamy dressing, is irresistible. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing side dish, give this recipe a try.
