Thank you so much for posting this recipe! I was born and raised in a PA Dutch family and lived in York County most of my life. I moved to the South 4 years ago and the food is completely different...no Amish macaroni salad to be found. Since this is my DH's favorite side dish I was determined to find a recipe for it. I've tried a number of recipes and your's is the ONLY one that tasted like the one from home! I whipped up a batch for my DH's birthday...what a great surprise; you'd have thought I'd given him a million dollars! I followed the recipe exactly as it is written and let it sit a full day...PERFECTION! Thanks again! I look forward to trying more of your recipes!

I'm rating this with no stars as well. My husband and kids loved this salad. Me--not so much. Maybe I didn't make the dressing right. I might have cooked the sugar, flour and vinegar for too long. It was so thick that it was like glue. I could taste the flour in the dressing as well. I only made half the amount of dressing called for--it worked out fine.
