Additional ingredients added to macaroni salad can vary based on personal preferences. The sauce is usually mayonnaise based. Mustard, herbs, and pickle juice or relish are all common ingredients to add to the sauce. In addition to the pasta, you might find red onion, green onion, celery, peas, bell peppers, cheese and more added to macaroni salad. Feel free to mix and match to suit your own personal taste preferences.

Macaroni salad can sit out for 2 hours at room temperature before it should be discarded. If you are serving your macaroni salad at an outdoor function, be sure to keep it chilled before serving and keep it in the shade while serving. Macaroni Salad left in the sun can spoil much faster than 2 hours depending on the temperature outside.
