The Classic Macaroni Salad is, well, a classic when it comes to Filipino gatherings. You name it, birthdays, christening, Christmas, New Year, fiestas, and even despedidas, this delicious salad is rarely absent from the menu.
Taste-wise, it is fairly sweet (which is typical of Filipino pastas), that’s why both kids and adults always flock its serving bowl during parties.
It is usually served cold or chilled, often with different viands like pork barbecue or Caldereta. Overall, it’s a good appetizer or supplementary match to the other food served in the party.
There are different ways in preparing the macaroni salad. Some opt to have different meats while others don’t. Some prefer to have lots of ingredients while some settle for the basic ones.
