Pro Tips for the Best Macaroni Salad
Use Miracle Whip Instead of Mayo – Gives it that signature Amish-style sweetness.
Let It Chill – The flavors meld together best after at least 1 hour in the fridge.
Customize It – Try adding diced ham, shredded carrots, or green bell pepper.
Don’t Overcook Macaroni – Slightly firm (al dente) pasta holds up better.
