Sylvia's Picnic Macaroni Salad

Source of Recipe

Found in a community Cookbook, and made variations to fit our tastes.


Recipe Introduction

This is the best salad to take on picnics. Best made the day before, as the flavors blend so nicely. This recipe easily multiplies for larger groups.

List of Ingredients

2 c. cooked macaroni
1 c. chopped ham (leftover ham, or the canned ham)
2 tbsp. chopped green onions
2 tbsp. chopped radishes
2 tbsp. chopped celery
2 tbsp. sweet pickles
2 hard boiled eggs, diced
2 tbsp. chopped cheese, cheddar or marble
1-1 1/2 c. mayonaise
1 tsp. dill weed, (dried, or fresh)*





Recipe

Cook macaroni. Drain and rinse well, and then chill. Combine rest of ingredients adn mix well with macaroni. Season to taste.

*Note: I also have found that adding either packaged dry dill or ranch dressing really adds wonderful flavor, but has to be made early, so flavors meld. Just add the dry dressing to the mayonaise.
