Tried something new. Cooked mini macaroni (one cup), diced up left over ham, diced celery & onion, a little ranch dressing and mayo! Mixed it all together for a nice cold salad.
Ranch and mayo...let me know if there are any substitutes for those two ingredients.
Sounds yummy anyway.
I'm ok with mayo in tuna sometimes, but not much else. When making tuna salad I started using lime or lemon juice as a substitute for mayo, with olive oil and mustard, add chopped cucumbers, celery or onion, avocado, and lots of dill or basil.
Also makes for a refreshing cool lunch.
I can't imagine lemon and lime with a ham salad. Maybe pineapple juice! And ground cloves, mustard, celery...
I willTry shrimp in your macaroni salad sometime.
Sounds good!!! I also make a spam and egg salad for sandwiches, breakfast, brunch, lunch!Try small pieces of Spam in your macaroni salad. It is a Hawaiian delight.

Green chili's sound goodWife does hers with mayo, onion, olives, crushed tomato, sometime green chiles. Diced ham and shrimp sounds good
It's fun "making up" salads! Anything goes!A few years ago I had Hawaiian macaroni salad. Evidently there are a few recipes out there, but it is a thing that can be found in some delicatessens. Cousin makes hers with chicken from a roasted chicken she bought at the store.
I make macaroni salad and it varies with what I add. I add red onions to many of my cold summer salads. I also add chopped hard boiled eggs, celery, frozen peas, black olives, green olives, and other things. Sometimes it might be chopped up pickles, cucumbers, shredded carrots, frozen corn, beans (kidney, garbanzos, black beans), chicken, shrimp, and or tuna. Macaroni salad has a lot of potential for what can be added. If we want or need to make it go further, we just have to go to the pantry and find what would work to add. If there are things we don't like, we don't have to add them.
I make a dressing with a good (Hellman's) mayo, mustard, cider vinegar, a little sugar, salt, pepper, dill seed. You can also make it spicy by adding hot sauce or red pepper.
