This is so different than the way I have always made mac salad. It is beautitul in the bowl and delicious. I had to use fresh red onion as I didn't have onion flakes. I used about 3 T finely chopped. Thanks for this great recipe that will become a BBQ staple for the summer.

I have lived in Oregon all my life..I really enjoy it here. I work for a school kitchen and we serve around 390 students daily.It is quite challenging. We have to be quite creative, because in our curriculum, there can be no addition of sugar to anything, we have very strict guidelines to follow. There is just two of us who work in this kitchen, it is extremely hard work, but very gratifying. I have one child and she is 6 yrs. old..divorced, but in a loving relationship of 3 yrs. My hobbies, cooking, gardening, reading...
