Macaroni Coleslaw Recipe

Reviewed on Jan. 29, 2011 by Chris L BCB

This is an AWESOME recipe, and I look forward to making it again. I did use regular mayonnaise, and red wine vinegar instead of regular vinegar. I also omitted the salt, it wans't missed. My husband liked the way it complimented the honey sauced chicken nuggets, and helped us get out of the winter doldrums. My daughter normally doesn't like the veggies listed, but with them being finely chopped in the food processor, she never even noticed them, and had 2 helpings! LOL! Plan on passing this recipe along to my sisters and also my best friend for her daughter's high school graduation party.

Great recipe. Just different enough to be interesting. Love the crunch of the water chestnuts. Definite potluck material.

This was easy to make and surprised a lot of people with how good it was! Even my father in law who never eats pasta salads thought this was delicious.

I used Hellman's Mayonnaise instead of the Miracle Whip Light salad dressing. It was yummy.

I make this quiet often and is quite popular at get togethers.

I use regular Miracle Whip.  I also use only an 1/8 cup of the cider vinegar and then use an 1/8 cup of white vinegar.  I don't like too much of that cider vinegar taste.  I also tend to add more pasta as we like it that way better.

I also sub the bagged broccoli slaw mix for the coleslaw mix.  We prefer that also.

Very good salad!

Very intering combination witht he pasta and coleslaw. I was weary at first if it would be good, but after tasting it everyone really enjoyed it. I made half the recipe (still a lot of salad) and I used bottled coleslaw dressing. Will make this again!

I made this dish for a birthday party yesterday and it was a big hit! Everyone was asking for the recipe. I used a mixture of red and green pepper, did not use water chestnuts, and added real bacon pieces. I did not use the dressing mixture, I used a whole jar of Marie's Coleslaw dressing which is awesome. Will be making this dish again.

oh my goodness, is Miracle Whip only in the south? It's like mayo, but sweeter. I don't like it, actually, but it IS lower fat.

Miracle Whip is a brand name for a salad dressing . It is similar to mayonnaise but more tangy. It is very popular in the Midwest.

I have used red bell pepper and red onions to add a little color and it does not change the taste at all.

Re Macaroni Coleslaw

The fat free salad dressing they are talking about is Miracle Whip

Reviewed on May. 03, 2009 by katejudy311

I believe the salad dressing called for is another form of mayonaise.
