A staple for hot summer days, this macaroni salad is made with only a handful of kitchen staples. It’s shockingly easy to make at home and much more flavorful than the store-bought tubs. The best part about this dish is that it tastes even better after it’s spent some time in the fridge, meaning you can make this ahead of time whenever you’re free. No fuss, no muss, no rush!

Grey Poupon!! About 20 years ago my friend rented a limo for a day trip. When we climbed in the back there was a jar of Grey Poupon velcroed to the wall next to the window. As we're going down the highway people were ogling the limo, so my friend rolled down the window, grabbed the jar and totally mimed that commercial. I thought it was hilarious and the people in the other car did too. A great memory. 😁

This is my macaroni salad!!! I keep a bowl of some sort of salad in the fridge all summer long so that if any of my family wants a nutritious snack, instead of chips, etc. they just grab a small dish of salad...macaroni, potato, cucumber, or any other that will last well in the fridge for a couple of days. Been doing that for 4 decades.

Sorry but calling this nutritious made me laugh.. pasta is the worst carb you can eat as is coating it with mayo. WITH THAT SAID, I made macaroni salad tonight and I'm adding extra ingredients mentioned in the video because I am craving a deli style one lol. I'm about to chow down on a big bowl of it! My mom always did the same as you for us kids!! Macaroni salad, potato salad, cucumber salad in the fridge pretty much all summer long. Her potato and macaroni salad is just mayo, salt, pepper, celery, onion and that will always be my favorite and best way for me (except when I feel spicy and want something different like tonight lol) and then her cucumber salad is thinly sliced cucumber and onion, mayo, vinegar, salt, pepper, I think a little bit of sugar? She also always made something called "dippy" (she and her Italian family would dip bread into it) which is just onion, fresh tomato, olive oil, salt, pepper. She hasn't made pasta salad in years but I always loved that too!.. olives, onion, chunks of salami and mozz, etc. Might have to make that tomorrow! You sound like a great mom and I'm glad you take care of your family the way you do and make sure they are provided for :)

@@Ena48145 Our salads are identical, including the cucumber. We must be related. Only difference with my potato and macaroni is that I add a LOT of celery, onion, red and orange sweet peppers, shredded carrots (must be shredded, not chopped), so that half the salad is nice crunchy vegetables....nutritious. 😊 !! Plus chopped hard boiled eggs in the potato.
John’s got jokes! The chopping of the imaginary parsley, the Grey Poupon commercial reference 😂 recipe video and comedy skit all rolled into one
Cut bell beepers with the soft inside part facing up. Your knife won’t slip of the tougher slippery skin that way saving your tender fingertips!
Years ago, I had a friend with a gorgeous, classic 1956 Bentley. He always had a jar of Grey Poupon in the glove box because, invariably, somebody at a stoplight would say, "Pardon me, would you happen to have any Grey Poupon?" "Certainly," he'd reply with a blinding smile fairly radiating noblesse oblige. It never got old.

I'm definitely going to add this to the baby shower food menu. My neighbor always makes pasta salad but I always end up picking out the deli meat she adds and just eating the elbow pasta. On the other hand, John's version would be eaten up in one sitting. Thanks!

I do remember the Grey Poupon commercials. I’m a child f the 80’s.
Hi John! Love all your videos! Yes, I do remember the Grey Poupon commercials! I have a great tip for easy peel hard boiled eggs. Saw it somewhere... Steam the eggs on a vegetable steamer over boiling water for 15 minutes, cool down in ice water after steaming. Even if they are fresh, so easily peeled! Just pop the cooked on the round bottom to start the cracking and Voila!! Easy peasy!
John your recipe are Devine thank you
I can tel you are a true foodie. Your opinions on onions and mayonnaise are spot on! It’s the little details that make dishes so delicious!

I have my own chickens n ducks and can say fresh eggs are a pain in the wazoo to peel when hard boiled it's much easier when the eggs are 1-2 weeks old
I totally remember that commercial! My sister and I always wanted to ask cars next to us. 😂
Third time I’ve made this. Fantastic every time thx
Un aplauso for that second when you said "me encanta". It was the cutest thing besides the parsley miming. Cheers from Venezuela.
This recipe is the closest I have ever had to my mother's. She was a simple country lady and had perfected a way of cooking things that eliminated the unnecessary and concentrated on the things that made a recipe sooo good. The only difference I think is that she didn't use peppers in her mac salad, and sometimes she would add small cubes of cheddar. Anyway, thanks for the recipe, It's very good.
Tip to help peel eggs effortlessly: make a pin size hole with toothpick one end of the eggs before placing in the boiling water. The water separates the shell from the egg as it boils. The shell literally falls off!
