Otherwise, I stuck to the original recipe, which I found in Back of the Box Gourmet (affiliate link), by Michael McLaughlin. ![]() I'm calling this Classic Macaroni Salad Made Lighter. And mostly goes unnoticed if I don't mention it. It's an easy switch that saves a ton of fat and calories. I love using it as a substitute for all or part of the mayonnaise or sour cream in all kinds of recipes. To keep things Weight Watchers friendly, I substituted plain non-fat Greek yogurt for half the mayonnaise. Growing up, it was part of most picnics and backyard barbecues. It really doesn't get more basic or simple or delicious than this classic macaroni salad. And am having a great deal of fun rediscovering the basics. I now enjoy a more balanced, comfortable, moderate relationship with food. While I still take great pleasure in food and want to eat well, it's not all encompassing as it once was. And spent an embarrassing amount of money eating out in critically-acclaimed restaurants.įood was an obsession and my favorite form of entertainment! Thankfully it was a stage that I've mostly outgrown. I spent my free time reading fancy food magazines, glossy cookbooks and experimenting with complicated recipes. I became obsessed with all things "new," "cool," and "sophisticated" in the world of food. There was a time when I would have snubbed my nose at this classic macaroni salad. With every passing year I'm more drawn to the foods from my past. I think it has something to do with getting older. You know the one from the back of the Hellmann's mayonnaise jar?ĭo you ever crave the food(s) you ate as a kid? It seems to be happening to me more and more lately. I'm feeling nostalgic and craving the foods of my childhood lately. Classic Macaroni Salad Made Lighter for Weight Watchers
