Southern Style Macaroni Salad is the best ever pasta salad of all time. It is creamy with the perfect crunch and a little tang. It is exactly what I think of whenever summer sides come to mind. This recipe is so easy you can whip it up in less than 30 minutes.
I shared stories of my mom with you when we shared her Southern Style Potato Salad recipe which is so precious to me.
Now, I am sharing another of her famous recipes. Her southern-style macaroni salad was on our table at every summer gathering, right next to that potato salad.
I remember she had this huge milking pail from my great grandma's childhood farm that she used to serve it in. I love that old pot.
A few weeks before my mom passed away she gave it to her best friend of 30 years, Susie Q. I was sad to see it go, but Susie Q is like a mom to me and I know she will cherish it.
Not to mention she promised to leave it to me in her will. Love you Susie Q and thank you for sharing these stellar recipes with my family so many years ago.
