CREAMY MACARONI SALAD



Creamy Macaroni Salad image

This is my own macaroni salad. I did not get it from my mother or my grandmother and I did not get it out of a book or off the internet. It is not Amish, Cajun, Mexican or any other description of the various macaroni salads that are posted on the internet. It is my own made up salad. It is designed after my own recipe #20155 that I have posted on Recipezaar (with 121 high reviews, thank you very much to those that have tried it). The dressing is mostly the same, but there are a few other ingredients in this salad that is not in my potato salad. I hope some of you will enjoy it as much as you did the other.

CREAMY MACARONI SALAD



Creamy Macaroni Salad image

I have looked all over for a great macaroni salad; this one is it! It's easy and is a huge hit at every function I take it to. The sauce for this is a great creamy sauce. I like my salads to have a lot of creamy dressing, so I always make an extra half batch of the wet mix and add it as necessary to get the salad more wet because the pasta soaks up the sauce.

COOL AND CREAMY MACARONI SALAD



Cool and Creamy Macaroni Salad image

Don't drain the macaroni too well before adding the other ingredients - a little extra moisture will keep the salad from drying out. If you've made the salad ahead of time simply stir in a little warm water to loosen the texture.
