Cucumber Tomato Macaroni Salad - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 lb elbow macaroni, cooked to eldente, drained and rinsed well
1 large cucumber, peeled and diced
1 large tomatoes, chopped with liquid included
1 small onion, chopped (more to suit taste)
1 large green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 -3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled cooled, and chopped (optional)
3/4 cup mayonnaise (Hellman's is best)
1/2 cup Miracle Whip
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
2 teaspoons celery salt, to taste
2 teaspoons seasoning salt, to taste
black pepper
Preparation
-
In a large bowl, combine ALL ingredients; toss to coat (adding more mayo and/or salad dressing to taste).
Cover; refrigerate overnight to blend flavors.
Stir before serving.
Note: If you don't want to include the cooked hard-boiled eggs in the salad, I sometimes cook up 6-7 (or how many you desire), and just cut them into four pieces, and just lay them on top evenly around a large bowl with the pasta salad, so people have the option of having them or not-- and it makes for a nice presentaion-- if you are adding them into the salad, then 2-3 chopped should be enough.
