Best Macaroni Salad For Summer
"What is in this Macaroni Salad? My family loves this combination of Macaroni, hard-cooked eggs, celery, mayonnaise, honey mustard, purple onion, pickle relish, celery salt, plus salt and pepper. It is delicious! Typically, you will find this salad made with a lot more, maybe even double, the mayonnaise that I use. I use 1 cup of mayonnaise and 1/3 cup honey mustard which I think binds everything together without drenching it. I love hard-cooked eggs, and they go perfectly with this Macaroni Salad, so I use six of them. The celery and the purple onion add flavor and crunch. Everything works together to make this great tasting Easy Macaroni Picnic Salad."
