Macaroni and Potato Salad

[Boots]

I too make both of mine the same. I use finely chopped onions, bell pepper, and tomato. Usually one of each. Add a bit of mustard and mayonaise. I cook my macroni and cool it and for the potatoes I mash them up before adding all the other stuff because my family likes it this way. I also sometimes add sweet pickle relish and sometimes I don't. Then salt and pepper to taste. Happy munching!

I love the macaroni salad my mom makes, nothing too fancy.
A box of elbow macaroni, chopped celery or celery seed, green olives sliced or bought that way, and chopped onion if the people eating it like onion. For dressing she mixes mayo and miracle whip with a little yellow mustard and some sugar. If it's too thick I think she uses some of the olive juice to thin it. Yummy!

This one has an oriental "wang":

1 lb spaghetti
3/4 cup oil
3 tbs sesame oil
1/2 cup soy sauce
broccoli florets
a little bit of shredded carrots

Really good and constantly requested

My friend, a professional chef, loved this potato salad..

First I cubed the potatoes.. not cut them, in uniform sizes. Then I added FRESH parsley.. and it was delicious.

There is egg in A LOT of the things that I eat. But I would simply rather go hungry than eat anything that contains any trace of any variety of seafood or fish (inc chicken MCnuggets) or anything that TASTES like egg (patooey). DD agrees with me, but DH loves all kinds of seafood and eggs. I carry Altoids with me at all times and have a box on my nighttable. I love him despite his breath

In Hawaii, I noticed that they serve potatomac salad. Yup, potatoes and macaroni all in the same salad. Talk about carbs!!! I always add a little mustard to mine. It gives it a little zip and color. Cucumbers are also good but you have to serve it right away.
