Time 6h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (7 ounce) package elbow macaroni
1 pound bacon, diced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 large avocado, diced
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip®)
⅓ cup tomato-based chile sauce
¼ cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 large tomato - cored, seeded, and diced
½ cup sliced green onion tops
6 cups shredded lettuce

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
  • Fry bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp, about 7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Refrigerate when cool.
  • Sprinkle 2 tablespoons lemon juice over the diced avocado.
  • Combine mayonnaise, creamy dressing, chile sauce, 1/4 cup lemon juice, chicken bouillon, and sugar. Stir in the cooked macaroni, avocado, tomato, and green onions. Cover tightly and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 6 hours. Mix in lettuce and the reserved bacon just before serving.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The mayo dressing is light and tangy, and it doesn't overpower the other flavors in the salad. I will definitely be making this again.
