Bonita’s Tips:
Cook elbow noodles according to the box, let cool completely before adding to your glass bowl. Two cups of uncooked elbow noodles equal to three cups of cooked.
Drain the juice off the canned ham and flake it apart before adding it to the glass bowl.
Chop celery, cheese and green onion in small pieces. You can use a red onion if you wish.
Macaroni salad is apart of our traditional cold plate recipe and a few years back I shared some of the salads in that video posted above. Please take a few minutes to watch it and maybe you will get to make some. I will share a few more food picture steps to get you started.
Make this salad in a nice glass bowl to serve it in. This is a lovely and very tasty salad with layers of crunch from the celery and peppers, tangiest for the dry mustard. The blend of flavours make this macaroni salad stand out and enjoyed.
Our traditional cold plate is made with three types of potato salad, mustard, beet and plain. Cold slaw, macaroni salad, tomato, cold cuts or leftover chicken from your cooked dinner. So tasty!!
