Is Macaroni Salad made with seed oils?
Usually seed oils
Usually, same problem as potato salad
Macaroni salad is pasta coated in a mayo-based dressing, so it carries the same seed-oil load as mayonnaise itself. The tracker estimates about 9 grams of PUFA per cup, a bit higher than potato salad since the noodles soak up more dressing.
How to keep it seed-oil-free
Swap in avocado-oil mayo, or toss the pasta with olive oil, vinegar, and herbs instead of a creamy dressing.
