Surprising Your Guests With A Macaroni Salad Recipe

Macaroni salad recipe allows you to create a quick and easy side meal, as an adjunct to the main meal. Your main meal may be a roast, washed down with Italian red wine.

Almost everyone I know likes pasta, there are even pasta restaurants, helping meet the demand for pasta. One of the more popular versions of pasta is macaroni. Making a quick macaroni salad will please visitors to your home.

If you do not want to make a predictable casserole side dish, then a macaroni side salad may be your best option. Especially if you have a family and you need to cook a delicious side meal.

You can always make your own variations, after you learn to cook from the standard recipe. If you want to make a low fat version, then you replace the cheddar cheese with low fat cheese and leave out the mayonnaise altogether or replace it with olive oil. There is also the option of using low calorie mayonnaise, but I do not like the taste of low calorie mayonnaise and use olive oil instead.

A macaroni salad recipe is perfect for an Italian night dinner party. You can make your own pizza, or place a party order with your favorite pizza eatery. While you are placing the order, you may think about your guests and what they really like to see at your dinner party. You may know some of your guests quite well and shared many meals together, while with other guests you may not be too familiar with their food choices.

There are a few guests who are on special diets, one is on a gluten free diet and the other is on a low fat diet. I always make gluten free and low fat meals, whenever I invite these guests to my dinner parties.

I have even made a gluten free and low fat version of the macaroni salad, by taking out some of the gluten and high fat ingredients and swapping them with alternative low fat and gluten free ingredients.

My guests were pleased with the food and some even asked for my version of the macaroni salad recipe.
