Chicken Macaroni Salad



I always have this every last Sunday of the month during my college days, that is why it s one of my favorites and learned to cook it with my college peers during our acquaintance party, where we were assigned to make this. Since then I always make it every now and then so that I will not forget the recipe and here it is.

Ingredients:
1/2 kilo elbow macaroni
1/4 kilo chicken breast ( cooked and thinly sliced)
1 tetra pack all purpose cream ( 250 ml) nestle cream or light cream
1 cup cheese (diced)
1 pack mayonaise (200 or 250 grams)
1 small onion ( minced)
1 small size carrot ( small diced)
salt and pepper to taste
Procedure:
1. Cook the elbow macaroni according to its packaging procedure. (drained )
2. Mix all the ingredients.
3. Chill or put in the refrigerator before serving it.

  1. Hello Ms. Mely... question, what kind of cream used in this salad? Easter Sunday I prepared chicken Mac salad and one of the ingredient is sliced canned beets (taste good and add color to it).

    1. it depends, for raw food like salads better use red onions because it add color to the dish and mild in taste, but for cooking, white onion is better because the sulfur content of white onion is higher compare to the red ones, making your dish more aromatic :)

  8. Ms. Mely, did you blanch the carrot?

    1. No, because I sliced it into small dice , so no need to blanch to retain the crunchiness of the carrot. You can mince it for smaller size.
