How to Make Amish Macaroni Salad
- Cook 1 pound of macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and rinse with cold water to cool completely.
- While the macaroni is cooling, prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, 1/2 teaspoon celery seed, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth and creamy.
- Chop 2 cups celery, 1 cup carrots, and 1/2 cup red onion. Hard-boil 6 large eggs; chop 5 eggs and set aside 1 egg for garnish, slicing it thinly.
- In a large bowl, gently combine the cooled macaroni, chopped celery, carrots, onions, and 5 chopped eggs.
- Pour the dressing over the macaroni mixture and gently fold until everything is evenly coated.
- Transfer the salad to a serving bowl. Garnish with the reserved egg slices and a sprinkle of paprika.
- For the best flavor, cover and refrigerate overnight before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
