In looking through my cookbooks, the same one I used for the banana bread recipe on June 24 had a super macaroni salad with chicken. Sounded delicious and was also contributed by someone who I know still works at the bank! (I did not know her at the time this cookbook was purchased, but I speak to her quite often now!)
After coming home following my first Zumba class in almost 4 weeks, I was really looking forward to my delicious dinner of broiled salmon with lemon & herb rub from Morrisons, the corn and tomato salad and the chicken macaroni salad. The whole thing was absolutely scrumptious! But the macaroni salad could actually stand alone for a light meal!
As usual, I will list the recipe on its own with no comments or photos at the end.
Chicken-Macaroni Salad
8 oz pkg noodles
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 cucumber, sliced
4 - 5 stalks celery, sliced
4 - 6 radishes, sliced
1 small red onion, sliced into rings
3/4 mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 Tbsp milk
1 tsp dried dill weed
1 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. In large bowl, combine pasta with chicken and vegetables. In small bowl, blend mayonnaise, sour cream, milk and seasonings. Toss dressing into salad mixture. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or until well chilled. Delicious!
There was a slight problem with my sour cream - it fell out of the fridge and broke! But only using mayo was good enough! You will also see - in the photo of ingredients- scallions. These are not listed but I decided to throw them in since I was afraid they would go bad. (my long suffering husband has been looking forward to using these with his potatoes....uh oh!)
and in stead of seasoned salt, which quite often contains cumin, I used some Zatarain's Big & Zesty Garlic & Herb, purchased when we were in New Orleans. Fabulous!
