Macaroni salad is a classic family gathering food. Every party, picnic, birthday, or even Christmas, you can expect a macaroni salad on the table, with different versions and ingredient twists.

This is my favorite version – sweet, salty, and creamy all at the same time! Be sure to complete the ingredients as each one contributes to the overall taste experience – the sweetness from the pineapples and relish, some tanginess from the white vinegar, a bit of saltiness from the cubed cheese, the bite from the red onions, the crunch from the carrots,  the softness of the eggs, and the chewy shredded chicken. Truly a simple dish, but with the flavors and textures packed in this macaroni salad, it will be gone in minutes!

I love putting in a bit of paprika into my salad, but if you don’t have it at home then it’s fine to omit it. Remember to properly season with salt and pepper, pop the salad in the fridge to help the flavors combine a little more, then serve.
