Macaroni Salad

     Christmas is weeks away and I can smell it. You will have numerous gatherings and parties by next month. You will most likely find macaroni salad in either Christmas parties or Noche Buena (click here for more details about Noche Buena). Here's my version of macaroni salad...



Ingredients
1 package elbow macaroni (cooked according to package instructions)
1 cup chicken (boiled and shredded)
5 slices ham
1 can/pouch pineapple tidbits or chunks
2 tbsp pickle relish
1 cup cheddar cheese (cubed)
1-2 tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice
1-2 cups mayonnaise
salt
pepper

Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix.


Serve and enjoy.


Other suggested ingredients:
Bell pepper (chopped)
Carrots (chopped)
Raisins
Apples (cubed)
Walnuts
Celery
Hard boiled eggs


     If in case you forget to cool the macaroni, you can just shock them by placing it in a bowl of ice water for a few seconds. This is best eaten right away because this is perishable. There are many variations for macaroni salad, depending on each one's preference. This is the perfect time to give this recipe a try. Good luck!
