Make Ahead Macaroni Salad Recipes

This egg macaroni salad is a fantastic and simple recipe to make ahead. Great for a busy weeknight, for entertaining, or just for those nights when you don’t feel like cooking.  I like to prep one (or a few) of these ahead of time, and freeze some for later.  Having ready cooked meals in the fridge or freezer is a great way to enjoy home cooked meals when you don’t have time in the kitchen.  Freezing ingredients is also a great way to use up food that may be expiring soon.  Check out all my make ahead meals on The Herbeevore for some inspo to help you prep, keep, heat, and heat!

    This sounds good! How do you think this would work without the tofu and tamari? Obviously it would be different, but my little guy can’t have soy, so I’m wondering if there might be a good way to sub that, or just leave it out…
