I am sharing with you my quick and easy Classic Macaroni Salad Recipe. This is the same vegetarian macaroni salad that I have been making for as far as I can remember. It is simple, easy to make, and delicious.

The major ingredients for this salad version are vegetables. We have fresh onion, carrot, celery, and bell peppers in this dish. All of these ingredients share the same properties. These are all fresh, nutritious, and crisp. Speaking about being crisp, you can see the evidence on the video below. There is a part where I was doing my taste test. You’ll be the judge.

The flavors in this classic macaroni salad version are derived from seasonings such as mustard powder, salt, ground black pepper, and vinegar. My Lady’s Choice mayonnaise helps make the salad richer and creamier. Sugar is also used to add sweetness to the salad. The overall flavor is fantastic.

I am encouraging you to try this easy macaroni salad recipe. I understand how busy life can be these days. There should always be some time during the weekend to prepare this for the entire family.

    The macaroni salad has always been the classic dessert in our family holidays and occasions. Being away from my family, I really miss those moments we are making macaroni salad for the occasion. I’m really glad I have read this blog, I will be able to taste again and savor the bond I have my family even if we are countries apart.
