I am a fan of macaroni salad with mayonnaise. I think that chicken macaroni salad is good, but this Christmas Chicken and Ham Macaroni Salad is way better. It has almost everything that make-up an awesome macaroni salad, in my opinion. Aside from shredded chicken breast, I had cubed ham in there along with boiled eggs that were cut into cubes. Pineapple tidbits, cheese, and raisins were also added. All of these components blended beautifully together.

Christmas Chicken and Ham Macaroni Salad Panlasang Pinoy

It is a tradition in our family to have macaroni salad during Christmas. This is what I substitute for rice during the occasion.  I love having this with dishes such as lechon kawali and pork menudo. Believe it or not, this makes those dishes more enjoyable to eat.

Another reason why I like Christmas Chicken and Ham Macaroni Salad is the fact that it is quick and easy to prepare. It can take less then 30 minutes to have the salad ready for chilling. I also always look forward to the day after Christmas because I usually have the leftovers for breakfast. Yum!
