MACARONI GARDEN SALAD

Macaroni Garden Salad - The Southern Lady Cooks

This Macaroni Garden Salad is one of our favorites! It is loaded with lots of delicious veggies and then we add ham to make it even better. The combination of all the vegetables is great during the summer. If you grow a garden this salad is a great way to enjoy fresh vegetables from the garden. Super versatile and delicious!

Macaroni Garden Salad Ingredients Needed:

Uncooked Macaroni

Onion

Celery

Carrot

Radishes

Tomato

Cucumber

Mayonnaise

Cooked Ham

Salt and Pepper

As you can see this salad is just simple ingredients but put them all together and you have a wonderful salad. This salad keeps really well too and just gets better with time. So it’s definitely a dish you can make a day in advance. I also think chicken or pepperoni would be a great addition to this salad as well.

If you love pasta salads you will definitely want to check out our Amish Pasta Salad. It has millions and millions of views and it is one of our most popular recipes.
