Macaroni Coleslaw is the ultimate picnic or potluck side dish—cool, creamy, and crunchy. It combines tender pasta with coleslaw mix, a tangy-sweet mayo dressing, and a bit of crunch from celery and green onions. It’s easy to make and even better when chilled!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 (14 oz) bag coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage & carrots)

  • 3 green onions, sliced

  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped

  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced (optional for color)

For the Dressing:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/4 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon or yellow mustard

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the macaroni: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool completely.

  2. Make the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together mayo, sour cream, sugar, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper.

  3. Combine salad ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the cooled macaroni, coleslaw mix, green onions, celery, and red bell pepper (if using).

  4. Add dressing: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is well coated.

  5. Chill and serve: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving for best flavor.

 

Notes

  • You can make this a day ahead—it gets even tastier as it sits.

  • For a lighter version, use light mayo or swap sour cream for Greek yogurt.

  • Add cooked chopped ham or shredded chicken to make it a main dish.
