Updated on

A curry-flavored macaroni salad that kids will love to eat!

The macaroni is exquisitely matched with creamy mayonnaise and the appetizing aroma of curry powder. By mashing and mixing in a hard-boiled egg, the salad becomes extra creamy.

The mild curry flavor makes it easy for everyone to enjoy, and it is guaranteed to disappear quickly from the dinner table! Perfect for lunch, bento boxes, or meal prep, please try this popular dish from our home!

We used Weiner Sausages in this recipe, but it's also delicious with bacon or ham.

About Me I live in Hyogo, Japan, with my eldest son, a high school senior, and my youngest, who loves white rice and sweets. Life is busy, but sitting down at the table together is one of our little everyday joys. I cook with the mindset of “one dish made with all my heart” rather than focusing on the number of dishes, making sure my boys are always satisfied with their meals. My Motto: Easy recipes you’ll want to make again and again I share dishes that are hearty and filling, perfect for growing kids and hungry men. They may be quick and simple, but I make sure they never look like shortcuts. I love incorporating my own tips and tricks to achieve that balance. If my recipes can make life a little easier for busy people, that would make me so happy. Instagram I have 410,000 followers, and I often share glimpses of my everyday life in Stories—please stop by and take a look!
