AUNT TONY'S MACARONI SALAD
Nothing screams 4th of July more than fireworks and macaroni salad! Growing up in a large extended family, it was common to expect certain things when coming together. On the table one would always find: 1) fresh veggies like granddad's peas or beans, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers from his garden 2) a big bowl of home canned peaches, pears or apricots and 3) an obscenely huge bowl of Aunt Tony's Macaroni Salad. The celery seed is the ingredient that pushes this recipe over the top wow! This creamy, easy to make salad is the best! I am sure your family will love it just as much as ours.

Steps:
- Hard boil peel and dice eggs.
- Boil 1/2 lb. elbow macaroni 8 to 10 minutes (1/2 lb. will feed 6-8). (Note: a full 1 lb. box will make enough for 16-20 people)
- Drain macaroni in a colander and rinse under cold water. Allow the macaroni to cool completely before adding the other ingredients. I don't know why but my cousin Judy said this makes a big difference so I did it.
- Add chopped eggs, pimentos, celery seed and mayo. Mix together. It should be creamy. Add a tablespoon of cream at a time if needed to make moist to your taste.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Optional: Pour into a pretty dish and top with a light shake of paprika to give color.

SWEET MACARONI SALAD
A sweet out-of-the-ordinary dressing makes this macaroni salad special. My aunt gave me the recipe and it has become one of my favorites. I occasionally leave out the green pepper if I know that people don't like it, and it still tastes great. -Idalee Scholz, Cocoa Beach, Florida

MACARONI SALAD WITH LEMON AND HERBS
Consider this a macaroni salad for the 21st century: Like the original, it's a welcome accompaniment to picnic fare and pairs with virtually anything off the grill. But this version also happens to be bright, acidic and herbaceous. The traditional elements have been preserved - elbow macaroni, mayonnaise and a pinch of sugar are mandatory - but they've been bolstered by bright flavors: lemon zest, tangy capers and pickles, crunchy celery and tons of fresh herbs. It goes lighter on mayonnaise than the original, swapping in tangy buttermilk for a dressing that is more glossy than gloopy. It can be served straight from the fridge or at room temperature. A splash of water stirred in restores its silky sheen.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high.
- While the water comes to a boil, prepare your dressing: In a large bowl, stir together pickles, celery, scallions, mayonnaise, buttermilk, parsley, dill, capers and brine, mustard, lemon zest and juice, and sugar. Season with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
- Cook the macaroni in the boiling water until al dente, about 6 minutes; drain well and let cool for a few minutes.
- Once cooled, toss macaroni with dressing, season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or refrigerate until chilled. Top with extra scallions, parsley and dill to garnish just before serving.
AUNT BONNIE'S RING MACARONI TUNA SALAD
This was a staple at my Aunt Bonnie's barbeques, but the recipe probably originated from the back of a Creamettes box in the 1960's. In Minnesota, we obviously use Creamettes Macaroni Rings. You can use anellini pasta for this recipe. Cooking time does not include refrigerating time.

AUNT WOOFIE'S MACARONI SALAD
I have been making my Macaroni Salad like this for years. . The juice from the green olives and pickles really add to the flavor of the salad. Slice the olives and pickles before measuring them. This is really good if you make it the night before you are going to serve it. It gives the different flavors and juices a chance to blend really well. I don't like my pasta salads with a lot of mustard so I use horseradish sauce. You can replace it with more mustard if you want. I use the mustard for color only. Prep time is approximate. Cook time is the refrigeration time. This recipe can easily be doubled.
