“This Japanese take on a macaroni salad has been my favourite ever since I was little. The flavours are subtle yet incredible at the same time!” By @eatingwithkirby

METHOD

  1. Cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain, rinse under cold water, then drain again.

  2. Meanwhile, combine cucumbers, onion and salt in medium bowl. Lightly massage the salt into the cucumber and onion. (This will help remove the moisture.) Let stand 5 minutes. Squeeze water from cucumber and onion, then rinse under cold water.

  3. Combine Hellmann's® Real Mayonnaise and Knorr® Shichimi Togarashi Seasoning Blend, vinegar and sugar in large bowl. Add macaroni, cucumber-onion mixture, ham and corn and toss to mix and coat. Gently stir in egg. Serve, or cover and refrigerate until cold.

Tip:

TIP: If desired, adjust salad to taste, adding more Knorr® Shichimi Togarashi Seasoning Blend if you want it more spicy, more Hellmann's® Real Mayonnaise if you want it more creamy.
