Macaroni salads are a bit tricky. Why? Because many people like it different ways. I have an aunt that likes it sweet and another aunt that likes it sour and salty. I’m somewhere in the middle. Although I don’t add sugar to my macaroni salads I don’t like it too sour therefore I add very little vinegar.
One thing I do love is lots of eggs. My potato or macaroni salad can never have too much egg. I’m not a fan of celery so you’ll never see me including it in any macaroni salad recipe. Feel free to add some if you like. This is definitely one of my favorite pasta salads.
