This macaroni salad can be served hot or cold and it can also be kicked up by adding cooked and seasoned ground beef to make a more hearty meal.
Ingredients:
- 16 ounces of small elbow macaroni cooked in well salted water
- 5 ounces of crumbled feta cheese
- 4 ounces grated fresh Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup or more of fresh baby spinach julienned
- 3 green onions chopped
- Olive oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Method:
- Bring a big pot of water to boil with a good amount of salt.
- Add the elbow macaroni and cook to a nice al dente stage.
- Drain water and add a little olive oil to slightly coat the elbow macaroni.
- Immediately add the feta and Parmesan cheese while macaroni is still hot.
- Add green onions and spinach.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss and serve hot or you can refrigerate to serve cold at a later time.
If you want a more hearty meal instead of a nice side dish add some cooked seasoned ground beef to the salad and top with a little more Parmesan cheese. If you want the dish to be cheesier just add more feta and Parmesan cheese. You can also add more green onions or spinach. It’s up to you and your taste buds.

My family love mac and cheese so making it into a salad is a great idea! Great recipe, thank you for sharing!
…comfort food at its best!
Oh wow, I’m defo going to try this one! 😋 It sounds absolutely delicious, and I love how simple it is too. For a blind man who likes keeping things simple in the kitchen, this is right up my street, lol! 😂 And I’ll definitely be trying it with all of the meats… why stop at ground beef when you can throw the whole meaty arsenal at it?! 😂 Definitely one going on my list. Thanks for sharing!
Happy Monday! This sounds and looks super good. Thank you for sharing. I love feta!!!
My frandchildren all enjoy mac and cheese and adding a vegetable to it is a win win!
I love the idea of this as a salad. I could skip the beef as I think it would be filling enough without. Thanks for sharing!
Wow – a salad – that sounds good!!
I love everything about this salad, including that it doesn’t have mayonnaise! Definitely a keeper.
