mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: store-brand mayonnaise

Greek yogurt is lower in calories and higher in protein.

elbow macaroni

🥗Healthier: whole wheat elbow macaroni

💰Cheaper: shell pasta

Whole wheat is more nutritious, while shell pasta can be more affordable.

Start by boiling water in a large pot.

Add 1 pound of elbow macaroni to the boiling water.

Add a little salt and oil to the water to season the macaroni and prevent sticking.

Cook the macaroni for about 14-15 minutes until al dente, stirring occasionally.

Once cooked, drain the macaroni and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process.

In a separate bowl, dice the chicken thigh and red onion into small pieces.

Add the diced chicken thigh, diced pineapple, and diced apple to the macaroni.

Add mayonnaise to the macaroni and other ingredients, using as much as desired.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, then mix everything together thoroughly.

Optionally, add chopped parsley on top for color and flavor.

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if necessary.
