Macaroni Salad

Here's a recipe that I just did for today's Memorial Dad BBQ at Lotus & Shogun's house. This comes courtesy of my mom. This is Filipino style macaroni salad.


INGREDIENTS:

1 lb of elbow macaroni
1 cored and diced red or green apple (leave the peel on)
1 can of crushed pineapple (drained)
2 small boxes of raisins (the snack size)
2 cans of Kirkland chicken breast (drained & shredded)
sandwich spread (put this in last - put enough to coat the macaroni - it's up to you!)
*optional: a bit of shredded cheddar cheese
**Variation: You can use real chicken breast that's been boiled and shredded by hand. This is how my mom does it because she hates the smell of canned chicken

Boil macaroni according to directions. Drain. Put in a big-ass container. Add in the rest of the ingredients (except for the sandwich spread). Mix well. Add the sandwich spread last. Coat all ingredients. Chill overnight. Serve the next day.
