Filipino Style Vegan Macaroni Salad

A Filipino-Style Macaroni Salad perfect for sharing, whether it’s during family gatherings or potlucks. This is incredibly easy to make and packed with pineapples, raisins, carrot, onions, vegan ham, and vegan mayo.

WHAT IS FILIPINO STYLE MACARONI SALAD?

What makes Filipino-style macaroni salad distinct are the sweet notes from the juicy pineapple chunks and raisins. I think we Filipinos are known to like things sweet, as seen with this macaroni salad and also Filipino-Style spaghetti, with a sweet tomato sauce.

Filipino Style Vegan Macaroni Salad

FILIPINO MACARONI SALAD INGREDIENTS

What you’ll need:

  • macaroni
  • carrot, peeled and finely diced
  • red onion, finely diced
  • vegan ham, diced
  • vegan mayo, plus more if desired
  • raisins
  • pineapple tidbits or chunks in syrup , drained

Ingredients for Filipino Style Vegan Macaroni Salad

HOW TO MAKE THIS MACARONI SALAD

  • Cook the macaroni in salted water until chewy or al dente. Remove from the water and run through cold water to stop from cooking and too cool. Set aside and allow too cool.
  • Prepare the rest of the ingredients. For the carrots, you can opt to boil these if you want cooked carrots but I kept mine raw and just finely diced them because I love the added crunch and bite.
