Garden Macaroni Salad Recipe

August 29, 2014 By: Tonya5 Comments

We really wanted a garden this year, but had never had one before, so we decided to start small and do a raised garden bed this year.  We didn’t plant much, just two tomato plants, two cucumber plants and one cherry tomato plant.  We had planned on planting a few more things, but the cucumber plants kind of took over most of our little garden.  Never having had a garden before, I didn’t realize that I was supposed to use a trellis for the cucumbers.  Lesson learned.

We did, however, end up with a lot of cucumbers as well as tomatoes.  So, I decided to make a big batch of macaroni salad.

Usually when I make macaroni salad, I throw everything together and just eyeball how much of each ingredient I need, but I realized that it’s been a little too long since I’ve shared a recipe here on the ol’ blog.  So, I decided to take the time to measure everything out so that I could share it with you!  Hope you like it!!!

To make chopping easier, I suggest using a food chopper.  I use this one and I LOVE it!  I’ve had it for years and it still works as well as the day I bought it!

    I had to laugh at the part about you taking time to measure so you could share the recipe here – I feel the same way being an “Eyeball cook” myself, lol! This looks SO yummy and perfect for Labor Day cookouts. 🙂

    The weather is still so amazing, and we aren’t ready to stop having barbecues & picnics. This recipe is perfect for the long weekend & all the outdoor meals we’re planning.

    It’s hard to believe summer is almost over and for us in the cold north that means the end of outdoor eating. I like that this recipe could be adapted for whatever veggies are left in the garden!
