Tide You Over Tuesday – Macaroni Salad

Amanda over at A Few Short Cuts has posted her Tide You Over Tuesday.  This week she has an easy little side dish – Macaroni Salad.

I think I am going to make this one for my guys–I need to broaden their meal options   I HATE mayonnaise…I mean I can’t even stand to look at the stuff!!  My husband on the other hand loves it and eats it on everything!!  Since I cook –I make what I like to eat so there are really no dishes that I make that are mayonnaise based!  It’s funny as I have different versions of typical foods that I make to avoid using mayo!!  My coleslaw is a vinegar based marinade, my potato salad is mustard based and any pasta salad that I make is made with a vinaigrette! 

I really need to expose my boys to more foods as I am not sure if they even like mayonnaise–I have never offered it to them!! I have everything that is needed for Amanda’s recipe so I think I will make this one.  I know my husband will like it!!  Head over and see Amanda’s Macaroni Salad.
