macaroni salad
Creamy pasta dish
Macaroni salad is a cold dish of cooked elbow macaroni mixed with mayonnaise and various additions—chopped celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, bell peppers.
It's a staple of American picnics, barbecues, and deli counters, typically served as a side dish.
I'll bring the macaroni salad to the cookout.
