When it comes to macaroni salad my family is crawling with people who go crazy for the stuff. Seriously, we can’t have a picnic or family dinner without macaroni salad. Now, the way I learned to make mac salad was with a more savory sauce as that’s the way we midwesterners do it.
However, my darling husband is from Pennsylvania and the way folks over yonder make mac sauce is with a ton of sugar. I don’t particularly like this method. Ok, I HATE this method lol!
So, I needed to come up with a compromise to appease both of our tastes. Plus, I now live in PA so whenever I make macaroni salad it better have sugar in it or nobody will eat it haha! This recipe I am sharing with you all today is for grilled chicken macaroni salad.
I really don’t care if you are a savory or sweet mac salad lover you are going to chow this salad down so quickly that you won’t even have time to burp. Although this recipe does not call for sugar I do add a few sprinkles for the sake of my husband’s taste buds. Between the grilled chicken and seasonings this mac salad is amazing no matter how it’s made. You could serve this salad in a cracked pot and I’d still eat it with a big old smile on my face. Enjoy!

Quick Tip: I like to toss in some broccoli and cauliflower florets from time to time when making this salad.
nice post i like it
I sometimes cut up boiled chicken and add to my potato salad. It is so delicious. I love the surprised look I get when people taste the chicken! I only use chicken breasts.
