  1. This is a really good macaroni salad! I chopped the carrots instead of shredding, to add some extra crunch, otherwise made just as specified. I liked the dressing as it was different from the usual macaroni salad - almost like a cole slaw dressing - it went well with the veggie combination in this salad. Thanks for posting this yummy recipe! Made for Fall PAC 2008
     
  2. This is my FAVORITE macaroni salad! I think it's the dressing that makes it so great for me. It's sweet and creamy and a little tart. It's so easy to make, and easy to adjust to personal tastes. I usually leave out the cheese and use cucumber instead of celery. I have a friend who adds ham. Very easy and very delicious! Thanks MamaJen!
     
  3. Very good and colorful macaroni salad. It has a nice crunch with those veggies and a bit of a tanginess. I did add some chopped onion and salt to pick up the flavor a bit. Thanx for a new macaroni salad!
