I'm listing all my favorite foods, recipes that I will do once I have enough money from my earnings. There are so many comfort foods but I think the winner and the best for food tripping are the salads -macaroni and potato salads. They are creamy and really makes you happy. This time I'm experimenting on putting some diced cucumbers in my salad. I tried using whole grapes on potato salads and it goes well. I also put diced cheese on my salads. Do you have your own version of macaroni salads and potato salads? I would love to experiment

Your picture is making me hungry and crave for macaroni salad. Have you tried adding jicama to your macaroni salad? I add jicama to my macaroni and even fruit salad.
Jicama is a sweet, root vegetable that looks like a turnip. It can be eaten raw and is often found in salads. Jicama is best used in...

@averygirl72 Yes it is. In Cebuano we call it singkamas. It makes macaroni salad so cruchy and refreshing.

I only get to make chicken macaroni salads for Christmas and New Year . I think it's the usual recipe . But i think the secret to a delicious one is that it has to have enough mayonnaise , chicken strips , pineapple and pimiento .

@averygirl72 That's because making one is so expensive . And at home it has to be a kilo of it so we can eat it for several days because it's a favorite .
The pimientos make a distinct but delicious twist to the salad .

@SIMPLYD Is it really expensive? But it's true if you crave so much from it one kilo is not enough. I will look for an affordable pasta macaroni, mayo, condense and cream and I will just put a lot of carrots and cucumber and use tuna instead of chicken.

Yeah it's only for Christmas and New year but why not do it even in ordinary days. I forgot about pimientos I will try to put them also.
