Macaroni Salad is the most popular salad in Japan and I have my own recipe. It’s a lovely salad and I have been making it repeatedly for decades. The same Macaroni Salad again and again, and I wanted to make something different today. This is my American inspired Pasta Salad, but still tastes Japanese as I use Japanese Mayonnaise.

I’m not a big fan of celery, but this salad was quite good! I added some leftover chicken, it went really well
