    This is it.
    I used to work at a higher end restaurant, the Sunday Brunch had this recipe !
    I've been looking for it for years. And we had a bit of chopped Ham similar cut to the cheese added too.
    Delicious.

    I accidentally made the mistake of pouring the dressing onto the macaroni while it was still hot. I thought I blew it but I left it overnight and made a bit more dressing to put in it, and it turned out just fine. Thanks for the recipe.

    Great recipe! Of course, everybody will make it to their own taste, as it should be. A couple of comments. I would have cooked the macaroni a little longer than al dente for any cold macaroni salad recipe… and I would have added salt to the boiling water before adding the macaroni. While I hate peas, I would have added the following instead: chopped up kosher dill pickle, chopped ham and parsley! You do an excellent job of presenting your recipe!

    This is very similar to the recipe my grandmother and mother used to make, they also added diced black olives and pimentos. My grandmother also used Kraft American cheese instead of cheddar and my mom used Velvetta and Miricle Whip rather than mayonnaise. We would always make this the day before and when we took it out of the fridge and stirred it, the cheese would have softened enough to somewhat blend into the mixture.

    You want slightly overdone pasta. Al Dente means sorta underdone. I would use green onions and a little shredded carrot.
    A good amount of black pepper is also my jam.

    Oh No ! Don't rinse the macaroni ! This removes the starch that helps the mayo dressing stick to it. .......And after draining it, toss the macaroni with about 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar...Allow it to cool, then add your veggies and sauce....(skip the white vinegar)

    • @jkhegarty857

      Your recipe is the recipe I follow. I live in the northeast, and WE DO NOT PUT cubed cheese in our macaroni salad nor sweet relish. If I use sugar to make the dressing, I use brown sugar. Offers another level of flavor. I agree with you, NEVER rinse your mac. You need tge starch to help the dressing absorb & stick to the mac. Buon Appetito!

    • @reboot_2.00
      @reboot_2.00 Год назад +2

      We add cubed ham (same size as cheese), the peas look great.
      We do the relish, Dijon mustard, and vinegar sometimes but we've gone to adding coleslaw dressing, about 1/3 as much as the mayo.
      Yours is excellent.
