This is one of our favorite Filipino salad, and hubby get addicted to it every time I make some. He even take it to work for lunch as well as fruit salad Pinoy style :-). Can't wait till my son is ready enough to taste it! Anyway, here is the recipe I found online; it's different from the one I make, but the ingredients are pretty much the same except that I put some celery on mine.
Ingredients:
1 box macaroni noodles
2-3 big chicken breast
mayonnaise
1 can pineapple chunks or tidbits
1 onion
1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup raisins
2 to 3 medium sized carrots(optional)
salt
pepper
Directions:
Boil chicken breast in water with salt and pepper until it's tender. Drain chicken and shred it in 1 inch length.
Peal skin and boil carrots in water for 15-20 minutes or until cooked. Drain carrots and let it cool. (OPTIONAL)
Cook macaroni noodles according to package cooking instructions. Make sure it's el dente. Drain and cool.
Drain pineapple chunks or tidbits.
Finely chop onions
Combine the macaroni, shredded chicken, pineapple, sweet pickle relish, raisins, shredded cheese, carrots, and slowly add the mayonaisse while mixing all ingredients. (you can put more or less mayo in your salad, all up to you)
Add salt and pepper to taste.Refrigerate, then serve.
