Re: Macaroni Salad... Mayo or Miracle.. Sweet or Dill?

Another vote for real mayo. A family favorite also has finely chopped celery and add tiny canned shrimp.

Re: Macaroni Salad... Mayo or Miracle.. Sweet or Dill? some other brand f salad dressing,

When I make Mac salad, it is always with Miracle Whip or some other brand of Salad dressing.  I think mayo tastes blah.  I can't even eat it made with mayo.  Too many calories for blah food, no thanks.  Sweet pickle relish...no dill in Mac salad.

 

I will not eat Miracle Whip on sandwiches or any other time..only for Mac or potato salad.

I prefer mayo.  If you are making mac salad for a group, you can always go heavy on the cut up veggies (cucs, onion, olives, tomatoes, etc.) and use an oil and vinegar dressing.  This is a big hit with my family!


Mine too, but we call it pasta salad.

Duke orHellman's is always a winner.  Miracle Whip never had a lot of followers.

Exactly!  I love mayo for sandwiches. I use Miracle Whip in deviled eggs, too.

Mayo and a good squirt of yellow mustard. Never tried dill, but I love dill, so maybe next time.

@deepwaterdotter  Thanks!  Going to try this.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

I only Hellman's Mayo in anything I make, including macaroni salad. But - I always add a tablespoon (or two) each of sugar and vinegar mixed into the mayo for potato salad and macaroni salad. Also, a little sweet relish.


i think adding sugar and vinegar to mayo makes it into Miracle Whip!  jmo....

Re: Macaroni Salad... Mayo or Miracle.. Sweet or Dill?

Best Foods mayo with a small splash of white wine vinegar and some Dijon mustard.  No sweet pickles!
