Best Healthy Macaroni Salad Recipes
HEALTHY MACARONI SALAD
This is a recipe I have been making for about 24 years. I can't remember the lady's name who published the book I got it from, but she was a real stickler about what you feed your kids. I started making this when my boys were preschool age. I would always make sure a had a big batch when they had a sitter, so she didn't fill them up with junk, and they would be on a sugar high when I got home at night. I am still making this today and I enjoy it as a healthy meal or snack anytime. I must say I usually triple this when I make it, as there was 5 of us.It keeps well in frig for a few days, and the boys would eat it for snacks a lot. It made me feel better that they were eating healthy. I used American cheese and I must say on my bowl I would add salt. I love this dish.

HEALTHY TUNA-MACARONI SALAD
I love tuna salad and I love macaroni salad, so I came up with this to blend them both, but in a healthy way! If you are not worried about cholestrol, feel free to use both the yolk and whites. Since I leave out the egg yolks, I splurge with real mayonnaise, but if you like low fat mayo....go for it. Once you have the eggs cooked and macaroni cooked and cooled, it is a snap to throw together.
