Ida's Macaroni Salad
"Another recipe from the 1980 version of the Grace Evangelical Congregational Church cookbook from Muir, Pennsylvania that was given to me by my Nana when I became an adult. This recipe was submitted to the cookbook by Ida Unger. So many of the recipes in the cookbook didn't specify serving yield. So, I am guessing on it for this recipe. Let"

Very good! I only made 1/2 lb macaroni but everything else was the same. (with using only 1/2 the pasta its a little soupy) I personally think it has to much vinegar but its still good. I also used healthy harvest whole grain pasta. Will make again. Thanks for posting. Made for 123 hit -
This just didn't thrill me. For one thing, it needed WAY more mayo/vinegar/mustard than the recipe states. Otherwise, it would've been dry as a bone. I think most of us who have any cooking sense at all can do better on our own without a recipe than following this one! -
Don't wait for a picnic to make this mararoni salad! Delicious- not overly dressed. I did add a fair amount of sugar, but I like my macaroni salad pretty sweet. I also added some black pepper. A half recipe made enough to serve 5. Thank you!

I am originally from the Philadelphia area of the United States but have been living in London, UK since 1996. I now have dual American and British citizenship. I became a widow at the age of 27 in 2004 but have managed to fall in love again and was married again on July 19, 2008.
I have a double major honors degree in sociology and politics and am slowly working my way through a Masters.
I am a wanabee writer but until that dream becomes a reality I work in internet marketing where I build websites for profit. So, it is nice to come to a site like this and just enjoy being on the internet rather than using it as a work environment.
I am a BBW (big woman) but over the past two years I have lost over 80lbs and am working my way down the scales slowly but steadily.
These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it.
