• This macaroni salad was great to add any other ingredients you wanted. Any other veggies or meat. This stuff was so good! This recipe is really close but not quite exact. I really miss the real stuff!
• If desired you can use all mayo or salad dressing. For the boxed mix, I always used half of each.

AUNT MARTHA'S MACARONI SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Mix the cooled elbow macaroni, shrimp, onion, bell pepper and parsley together. Add several large spoonfuls of mayonnaise, vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix well. You may have to add more mayonnaise as it will be absorbed by the macaroni. Make sure that you add enough as the salad should be moist, but not too creamy. Re-season to taste as needed. Chill until served.
• 2. Note: You will need to add mayonnaise after this sits in the fridge for a length of time as the mayonnaise gets absorbed by the macaroni. You can also add a little more vinegar if needed.
