Macaroni Salad With Pineapple image

My mom got a similar recipe from a grocer in our home town store; they made it in the back and sold it. It is a favorite of mine that makes me think of mom. Now I am doing it by memory, so you may have to adjust some things. Also, my mom did not use dash way back when, I don't think it was around, but she used it later. This was perfect for my father, who couldn't eat onions or peppers.

Time 35m

Yield 8-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces Spam (my husband is a vegetarian so I use morningstar veggie hot dogs or Loma Linda lunch meat)
1 1/2 cups ham, can be used instead
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks
1 cup celery
3 cups macaroni, dry
8 ounces colby-monterey jack cheese
1 (32 ounce) jar mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon brand seasoning
1/4-1/2 teaspoon celery seasoning
1 -2 teaspoon parsley, dry

Steps:

  • Boil the macaroni until tender, drain and cool.
  • Chop up spam or what ever meat you are using.
  • Chop celery as well.
  • Add to macaroni.
  • Drain the pineapple juice into a bowl to make the dressing.
  • Put the pineapple in with the macaroni.
  • Chop the cheese into half inch cubes. (I have used grated before, but I like the chunks).
  • Take the spices and add them to the juice.
  • Add about 3/4 of the jar of mayo into the juice and blend it together.
  • Stir it into the macaroni mixture.
  • Best if you chill it a few hours, then it may need more mayo as it soaks it up. It is really good.
