Aunt Woofie's Macaroni Salad

Recipe #68241 | 1½ hours | 30 min prep | add private note

I have been making my Macaroni Salad like this for years. . The juice from the green olives and pickles really add to the flavor of the salad. Slice the olives and pickles before measuring them. This is really good if you make it the night before you are going to serve it. It gives the different flavors and juices a chance to blend really well. I don't like my pasta salads with a lot of mustard so I use horseradish sauce. You can replace it with more mustard if you want. I use the mustard for color only. Prep time is approximate. Cook time is the refrigeration time. This recipe can easily be doubled.

This was ok. The family didn't like it, although I did. I didn't use the entire amount of mayo. Seemed excessive for the amount of macaroni used. I make a salad similar to this except I add chopped green pepper, celery and onion. I liked the flavor the horseradish gave the salad.

    A nice change from the typical macaroni salad. I omitted the eggs and sugar and used much less mayo. The horseradish sauce I used was a little strong so it may have detracted from the other flavors.

    Very nice salad. Took the hints from other reviewers and used less mayo than stated. In fact I used only 1/4 cup and that was just fine. Did not need to use any milk. Although I love horseradish I would perhaps use a little less (maybe 1 1/2 tbs) next time. I think that if you use the full amount of mayo, then use also 2 tbs horseradish. Anyway, this was a hit here and will surely be made again. Oh, another thing, maybe we are just too greedy but I do not think this will serve 4-6 people, rather 3. But again, maybe we are too greedy. Made for PAC Spring '08. Thanks for posting.

    Liked the recipe. Next time I would omit the sugar. Flavor is a bit different from the standard macaroni salad..but it was a hit.
