Amish Macaroni Salad

Recipe #94164 | 10 min | 10 min prep | add private note

By: Charmed

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.

SERVES 20 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

SALAD

  • 1 lb macaroni (or small shells)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup finely grated carrot
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion (more if desired)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green pepper (optional, see note at end)
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs (reserve 1 to slice for garnish, and chop the remaining 5)
  • paprika, for garnish

DRESSING

Directions

  1. 1
    Cook macaroni as directed on package; Drain& cool.
  2. 2
    In a bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients so they are well-combined and smooth.

    In a large bowl, gently combine the macaroni, celery, carrots, onions, and remaining eggs.
  4. 4
    Fold the dressing gently into the macaroni salad mixture.
  5. 5
    Place into your serving bowl and garnish with the reserved slice egg and paprika.
  6. 6
    Let sit overnight for the best results.
  7. 7
    NOTE: It was not in the original recipe, but I sometimes add 1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped green pepper if I have it around.

DELICIOUS! I did find that after it sat in the refrigerator, the pasta absorbed a lot of the dressing and it wasn't as creamy as I like. I just made up some more dressing, refrigerated it and added to the salad right before serving. I halved the recipe for a cookout for 6 people and there was plenty for us all and everyone went back for seconds, plus I sent some home with 2 people.
