Macaroni salad is a type of pasta salad, served cold made with cooked elbow macaroni and usually prepared with mayonnaise. Much like potato salad or coleslaw in its use, it is often served as a side dish to barbecue, fried chicken, or other picnic style dishes. Like any dish, national and regional variations abound but generally it is prepared with raw diced onions, dill or sweet pickles and celery and seasoned with salt and pepper.
the vinegar in mayo annoyed me and the texture is too slimy for me. you can have mine.

I've never liked it much. Which, I kind of feel bad about because it's one of my mom's "specialties" and I rarely ever eat it. I'll only eat it if there aren't many other options. 😂
I encounter those salads often on grill parties of my friends. However I prefer potato salads as side dishes with grilled meat.
I like mustard and vinegar, not mayo, though I will throw in DUKE'S light olive oil mayo in a 1:15 ratio with homemade mustard as a small thickener

My mom's with the carrots, pinnapples, and sometimes raisins, is good. Especially during the Holidays.
