I like this version of macaroni salad because it is simple to prepare and it tastes good. You can either enjoy it by itself or have it with other yummy Filipino dishes. I prefer the second option because it compliments almost every dish, which makes the entire meal more enjoyable.

Who should try  to make this dish? This recipe is meant for everyone. I recommend this to those who are starting to get a hands-on experience in cooking, and for those who want to develop family bonding through food. I think that it is a perfect dish that you can start with.

It is best to plan ahead. Have a specific date in mind when you want to make Pinoy Style Chicken Macaroni Salad, gather all the necessary ingredients, and assign tasks to each member of the family so that each can contribute to the success of your dish. It will be more fun if everyone is involved.

I like this dish cold, so I chill it in the fridge right after tossing. How do you like your macaroni salad?

    For convenience, I used the canned chicken, similar to tuna. Taste good as well! I omit raisins cuz my kids & husband don’t like raisin.
