They are originally from Somerset county, Pa.I prefer Mac salad..but hubby likes potato. My kids are split, so I make both.I agree,it has been way too hot for hot food! Any and all salads are great now. The grill is also a blessing.. I have been canning and the kitchen is HOT!!Barb Wrightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-62922772147942532582016-07-26T10:32:30.892-04:002016-07-26T10:32:30.892-04:00That kind of macaroni salad is popular here in the...That kind of macaroni salad is popular here in the delis and you always see it at a restaurant salad bar. It usually shows up at church and family potlucks, weddings and parties. I don't like mayonnaise myself (or miracle whip), so I don't eat it. When I make anything that need mayonnaise I often use all plain yogurt or partial plain yogurt, like in deviled eggs or vegetable dips, "taco dip" etc. For my cold potato salad I use some French dressing and only a small amount of mayonnaise. I can't use mayo on sandwiches either! Never figured out the reason for this but my mother says has been life long as far as she can remember. My family has adjusted...I do keep mayo in the house for their use :) <br /><br />When I make pasta salad I use the rotini twirls, chopped vegetables whatever is available and I sprinkle it all with Italian dressing. Then I sprinkle on finely grated Parmesan cheese until it clings all over when mixed. When I make tuna macaroni salad I use some mayo and a lot of bread and butter pickles chopped plus the juice including all the nice little mustard seeds to moisten.<br /><br />We make a lot of cold salads in the summer too. Sometimes I will have my husband cook the pasta outside in the garage if I don't want any more heat and humidity in the house. We have a cooktop out there.

You could use your same dressing recipe. I should make some, too, since I'm trying to find "cool" foods to make on these hot days!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-83321872497984608992016-07-25T21:42:31.410-04:002016-07-25T21:42:31.410-04:00I will prepare this for my family Saturday !

Around here everyone makes one with a dilly-ranch dressing, with similar veggies and sometimes cheese. It's good, but I miss my mustard dressing!!LMJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578508373438096364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-11668956088963577132016-07-25T07:40:45.512-04:002016-07-25T07:40:45.512-04:00I am not a macaroni fan but this salad did make me...I am not a macaroni fan but this salad did make me hungry.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02879441454907355760noreply@blogger.com
