Notes

One of the most used BBQ sides is probably Macaroni Salad. Here you can find my recipe that has been updated many times and made better and better.

Start with boiling and letting the macaroni cool.

Now mix all the other ingredients in the macaroni.

If there is any BBQ side dish that about every family has a "secret" recipe for, it must be macaroni salad.

Since I don't have many secret recipes, I felt that sharing it here would help some people to get started and use this recipe for a test and then add their own flavors to it.

I think it is OK to call this healthy macaroni salad since it does not have any weight gaining ingredients in it.

I have used, besides the mayonnaise, Italian dressing, that gave it a nice new flavor.
