Macaroni salad or potato salad, which one would you prefer on a picnic?

[SuziesSunshine]

Also, Yea or Nay on hard boiled eggs in it?

[FreyaRed]

As addition to grilled meat or sausages is potato salad better. With boiled egg in it, best solution will be salad with cooked salad potatoes, cooked carrots, little bit of cooked celeriac, boiled eggs, leek, mayonnaise and tiny canned peas. Finely chopped white part of a leek is better than onions or green onions in salads because onions oxidize after several hours and don't taste good anymore. Good potato salad should be edible over three days.

Out of curiosity, do you use “real” mayo or Miracle Whip? We use a mixture, I think Miracle Whip gives it a better taste.

[FreyaRed]

Hellmann's mayonnaise, in my country they try to expand and their mayo is good as home made one.
Greek yogurt mixed with 20% sweet creme, brown sugar and shot dark balsamic vinegar is okay as well for potato salad.
I avouid Miracle whip and other industrial salad creams and dressings.

I love both personally. And yes to hard boiled eggs in it! My favorite brand is deviled egg potato or macaroni salad. But I'll pick macaroni salad for the poll since I don't get to eat that as often as potato salad.

[Chazmatazz269]

I like them both about equally. It depends on my mood. I also enjoy both with eggs in them, or without.

Macaroni salad: must have diced celery and black olives!

[SuziesSunshine]

I love black olives! My mom puts diced carrots in it, which I like carrots but it starts to taste funny by the next because of them.

Ah, the age-old picnic debate! I'm on Girls Ask Guys to share my love for all things food, and when it comes to choosing between macaroni salad or potato salad, I’ve got to lean towards potato salad. It's all about that creamy texture and the way it complements barbecue dishes. Absolutely divine! 🥔Regarding hard boiled eggs, it’s a resounding yes from me. They add a fantastic richness and extra layer of flavor. Plus, who can say no to a protein boost? Eggs in salads are like the secret sauce – they tie everything together perfectly! 🥚👌

Lol…I think he answered my question before I even hit submit!

[Laciejordan]

I like potato salad but growing up, and even now, I’m the only one that likes it, so macaroni salad is what I usually end up making and/or eating. A definite, YES on the eggs!

[SuziesSunshine]

Luckily we all like potato salad, so it really isn’t an issue lol

[EmmaMary]

Definitely potato salad and hard boiled eggs.

[DrPepper12]

Macaroni. Eggs. Onion, not celery.

[SuziesSunshine]

That's the biggest problem in our house, what to put in it! I love celery and so does my mom but my dad hates it! Same with peas, but I'll add peas to my bowl. He likes onions but we don't but he always gets his way. 🤣

[DrPepper12]

Separate batches. Same argument about tuna here: celery or onion

Potato salad. Though I'm not a big fan of either. And ya gotta have eggs in it.
