Amish Macaroni Salad Tips

How can you make sure Amish macaroni salad stays creamy?

Similar to most other macaroni salad recipes, the pasta in Amish macaroni salad will absorb some of the dressing as it sits. To make sure it's creamy, reserve one-third of the dressing and stir it in just before serving. This is especially helpful if you make the salad more than a few hours in advance.

How should you store Amish macaroni salad?

Store Amish macaroni salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Leftovers are delicious paired with grilled chicken recipes and will keep for 2 to 3 days.

How far in advance can you make Amish macaroni salad?

Make-ahead salads are so convenient! Amish macaroni salad can be made up to a day in advance. Stir it just before serving to freshen it up. If you liked this macaroni salad, try more of our Amish recipes.
