I really love Amish Macaroni Salad, and this is my favorite recipe for it. Amish Macaroni Salad is somewhat on the sweet side, so if you don't mind your salads sweet, I think you'll like it too. It's even better the next day, so if you can, let it sit overnight. I got the recipe from a Berk's County website a while back. NOTE: It does make a lot of salad, so if you wanted a smaller amount, it halves easily. Just use the 3 eggs chopped up and just garnish with paprika. Time does not including cooking the macaroni.

6 hard-boiled eggs (reserve 1 to slice for garnish, and chop the remaining 5)
paprika, for garnish

2 cups Miracle Whip
1/4 cup vinegar
3/4 cup sugar

Absolutely fantastic macaroni salad. I made this to go with our turkey burgers and we loved the salad. I did half the salad with no problems. I too added the green peppers, and feel it really added alot of flavor to the salad. I will most definately make this again as I caught two of my kids sneaking bites out of the fridge later in the evening....lol. Thank you so much for sharing this very good salad with us.

great salad if you like your pasta salad tart and sweet. i increased the vinegar to 1/3 cup and lessened the sugar to 1/2 cup. and instead of green pepper i went with red for its color and more mild flavor. tasted even better after 2 days in the fridge! thanks for sharing

THis is an outstanding salad! I make this for lots of summer potlucks. I have been using this recipe for a long time. When I first tasted Amish Macaroni Salad, my husband's aunt had brought some down from Maryland. I fell in love and had to find a recipe. I was so excited when I found it! The only thing I don't use is green peppers. Glad to see this recipe on here!
