- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar

On a large cutting board, chop veggies and eggs.

Tip
If you are not a fan of some of the veggies or the egg, you can easily adjust this recipe to suit your taste by omitting ingredients. People like to add carrots, green/yellow bell peppers, even chucks of cheddar cheese.
Thanks for stopping by!

My mother-in-law uses the same dressing recipe for egg salad, ham salad, coleslaw and other salads. It’s great. And your right it is sweet and tangy. Yummmmm

Hi Mary
I made your Amish Macaroni last week and my husband loved it. I kept the recipe as my main macaroni salad recipe to bring to parties and cookouts. Thanks for sharing it!

Wow! Just wow! I made this amazing salad last night and let the flavors meld overnight. Wow! By far, this is the best macaroni salad I have ever tasted. Amazing! I’m coining a phrase…this is “stupid” good. Thank you so much for the recipe. I made it exactly as written.
Yes, me as well for the tuna and mac salad as my husband would love it!!

please email me if you can with the recipe. angelsandwings78@att.net
thank you!
Linda can I have your tuna mac salad recipe please? Thank you
I grew up on Miracle Whip and I love that tangy zip. Having said that if I am serving anything that will be shared with my Hellman's and/or Duke's loving pals, I sometimes will mix it with Miracle Whip. Just cannot "do" straight mayo! I've tried.
This salad looks delicious but I'll wait a week or so to try it as I just did the family favorite Tuna Mac Salad. After eating it for three days, I'm over it—for now. Your Amish Mac Salad would be similar in its base.
