Time 4h33m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup mayonnaise
¼ cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or more to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon white sugar, or more to taste
1 cup finely diced celery
¾ cup diced red bell pepper
½ cup grated carrot
½ cup chopped green onions, white and light parts
¼ cup diced jalapeno pepper
¼ cup diced poblano pepper
1 (16 ounce) package uncooked elbow macaroni
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Whisk 1 cup mayonnaise, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until well blended; whisk in sugar. Stir in celery, red bell pepper, carrot, onions, and jalapeno and poblano peppers. Refrigerate until macaroni is ready to dress.
  • Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain but do not rinse. Allow macaroni to drain in a colander about 5 minutes, shaking out moisture from time to time. Pour macaroni into large bowl; toss to separate and cool to room temperature. Macaroni should be sticky.
  • Pour dressing over macaroni and stir until dressing is evenly distributed. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or, ideally, overnight to allow dressing to absorb into the macaroni.
  • Stir salad before serving. Mix 1 tablespoon mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon water into salad for fresher look.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality mayonnaise: Hellmann's mayonnaise is a classic choice for macaroni salad, but you can use any brand you like. Just make sure it's a mayonnaise that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Cook the macaroni al dente: This means that the macaroni should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. If you overcook the macaroni, it will become mushy and the salad will be less flavorful.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful and colorful your macaroni salad will be. Some good choices include celery, carrots, onions, cucumbers, and bell peppers.
  • Don't skimp on the seasonings: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all essential seasonings for macaroni salad. You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika, onion powder, or cayenne pepper, to taste.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld together and the salad will be more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Macaroni salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. It's also a great way to use up leftover macaroni. With so many different variations, there's a macaroni salad recipe out there for everyone. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious side dish, give macaroni salad a try.
