    I make it with elbows, celery, cherry tomatoes, minced red onion, cored and salted chopped cucumbers, mayonnaise dressing with red wine vinegar, a little sour cream, little milk, salt and pepper. Since 1971. Everyone loves it. Thank you for your recipe❤
  • This was the best macaroni salad I've had in a long time. Didn't feel like waiting in line at Walmart I made this recipe with the ingredients I had at hand. I had everything except the red pepper. This time I followed step-by-step instructions. The taste was delicious I'm still checking to make sure no one else tastes it before I serve it.
  • @vilespecter
    I appreciate you highlighting this dish. I feel like macaroni salad is often overlooked seen as a side item but the fact that you can modify it and prepare it so many different ways make it a southern staple in my book.

    Chef, I was in the mood for a good Macaroni Salad, I came across your fantastic recipe! Since I've made so many of your wonderful recipes, I thought this one would not let me down. Just made it, waiting now for it to chill, however, it tastes delicious already can hardly wait to serve it to family and friends. Thanks chef!

    Ok that looks BOMB. And also love the bloopers added at the end of the vids keep that going 😂
  • @ochinaharris3944
    I just made this recipe, and it came out GREAT!! It's the best macaroni salad I've ever made. Thanks Chef
  • @playsanuzoo
    Just in time for the 4th. So many good things about your videos: you wear gloves, you add bloopers and your instructions are clear and concise. And you provide measurements and always advise it is customizable.

    I'll definitely try it! My two favorite side salads are macaroni and potato and yours look YUMMO! 😋 Thanks for sharing!
  • @mjznh
    Love your recipes! Just made this salad. Didn’t have bell peppers, so I threw in diced tomatoes and thin sliced cucumber. Everything else was the same. Absolutely, hands down my favorite macaroni salad recipe! Whole family loved! Thank you much.
  • @Storm_tha_Abnorm
    My mom has been making this for family cookouts for years but with tuna & no peppers. We love it 😊 😋

    I remember when my late mom would make her macaroni salad in the summer. I remember her using the chopped hard boiled eggs, diced celery, but don't recall her using onions and know she didn't use red pepper (but those do sound like they'd be delicious). She did put diced sweet pickles in her macaroni salad and used the juices from the pickle jar to mix with Miracle Whip (she hated real mayo and wouldn't allow anything but Miracle Whip in the house lol) then add everything together and it was delicious. Looking back now, it's still one of my favorite memories and dishes she made (along with soo many other things she use to cook for for everyone)
  • @Jeninsky
    Thank you for this recipe! My family absolutely LOVES it!
  • @tawilson29
    Great looking salad and I know it tastes good. Will have to make it. ❤
  • @bepos1luvok989
    Adding vinegar to the boiling water makes the eggs easier to peel plus helps the whites to set faster.
  • @babyblack716
    Just made this, and it is delicious! Thanks! 😋
  • @aglimpseofnai
    Definitely traditional my momma made it like this all the time
