Sweet & Creamy Filipino Macaroni Salad
This Macaroni Salad is sweet, creamy, and tastes like my childhood. This is actually the first time I’ve made it because I tend to go towards the Filipino Fruit Salad during the Holidays or other special occasions where I make desserts. For Emma’s 15th birthday I thought I’d finally make the Macaroni version. Scott wasn’t sure about it because of the raisins but he ended up liking it.
BTW, this is a make-ahead dish because it needs to chill in the fridge overnight.

Mmmmmm, so good. I love the creaminess and sweetness that you can definitely serve this as a dessert too. It’s very easy to make that’s perfect for summer parties or to bring to potluck BBQs. Enjoy.
