creamy chicken macaroni salad

Here’s a simple recipe for creamy chicken macaroni salad:

Ingredients

2 cups elbow macaroni (or pasta of your choice)

1 ½ cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1 cup mayonnaise

¼ cup sour cream (optional, for extra creaminess)

1 medium carrot, grated

1 stalk celery, finely chopped

½ cup pineapple tidbits, drained

½ cup raisins (optional)

½ cup sweet pickle relish

1 small red onion, finely chopped (optional)

1 teaspoon mustard (optional, for tanginess)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Cook the macaroni:
Boil macaroni according to package instructions until al dente.
Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Let it cool completely.
2. Prepare the chicken:
If you don’t have pre-cooked chicken, boil or pan-fry chicken breast until cooked through. Shred or dice it into bite-sized pieces.
3. Mix the dressing:
In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard (if using), sweet pickle relish, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
4. Combine ingredients:
Add the cooled macaroni, chicken, grated carrot, celery, pineapple tidbits, raisins, and red onion into the dressing. Toss gently to combine.
5. Chill and serve:
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.

Serve chilled as a side dish or light meal.

Tips
Adjust sweetness or tanginess by adding more pickle relish or pineapple juice.
For a healthier version, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
Add boiled eggs, cheese cubes, or other veggies for variation.
