Ingredients you need to make Macaroni and Egg Salad
- elbow macaroni
- mayonaise
- milk
- yellow mustard
- sweet pickles
- green onion
- celery
- boiled eggs
Secrets to the best Macaroni Salad –
- cooking the pasta 5 minutes more than the directions on the box suggest. This makes for a tender and puffy pasta and lets the mayo mixture soak right in!
- we add a bit of milk to the mayo mixture for extra creaminess.
- mix the egg yolks into the mayo to create a deviled egg consistency. Chop the egg whites seperate and stir in.
- rinse your pasta to cool it down before mixing in the mayo and egg mixture.
- chill for at least 2 hours, best if overnight. Add additional mayo and a bit of milk if necessary.
- Taste for salt and pepper! This dish needs a heavy dose of both!
The easiest way to boil all those eggs!
We love to use an Air Fryer to boil our eggs! It truly is the easiest method. But if you don’t have that gadget handy a tried and true way is to simply place your eggs in a sauce pan and cover with cool water. Bring to a boil and simmer for just one minute. Turn off the heat, let the eggs sit in the hot water bath for 15 minutes. Plunge the cooked eggs into an ice water bath and let cool. The shells will peel right off and you will have perfectly cooked hard boiled eggs!
