This macaroni salad is one of my all-time favorites.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours
Ingredients:
- 6 oz uncooked macaroni - cooked according to package - you want about 1 1/2 cups cooked
- 10 ounce frozen green peas, separated by running under cold water
- 1 cup shredded cheese, cheddar or cojack, or whatever you like
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions, can add the green tops, too
- 3/4 to 1 cup mayo and or miracle whip. Add enough to make it moist
- 1/3 cup sweet relish (I've used sweet chopped pickles, too, also good)
- 1 stalk celery, chopped finely (optional)
- 1 4-1/2 ounce can shrimp, tiny or medium, drained and rinsed
- about 6 slices of crisply fried bacon, crumbled up
- 2-3 hard boiled eggs, chopped (optional)
Preparation:
Mix it all in a large bowl, adding the eggs and bacon last. Cool and serve. Now,
you can add the bacon after it's chilled, so it stays crispier, but I like to add it
when I mix the rest of it. You can also use chicken or turkey cut up for the
shrimp if you prefer.
