I would add some boiled eggs and little chunks of cheddar cheese. Other than that it looks creamy and delicious. Thanks for sharing.

This is one of my husbands favorite Summer recipes.

Best summer recipe ever. We brought this to a potluck and it was such a hit!

We love classic recipes like this! Love the flavor especially the dijon mustard in it!

Oh my gosh this is delicious thank you so much!

So good for an outdoor barbecue party! Thank you!

Out of elbow macaroni noodles so I used rotini, cooked to death...and a bit of sugar.  A bit vinegary but I like that so, good easy fast recipe...thank you.

I'd never mad macaroni salad with cider vinegar before. I've always used pickle juice for that tartness! I love the balance the vinegar adds to the dressing. So good!

Yes! One of my favorite recipes for summer. Creamy and delish!

This takes me back! I love to find my favorites that I somehow forgot about! I can't wait to whip this up!!

Such a tasty salad! Love the dijon mustard in it!

I don't make my macaroni salad like this. I use elbow macaroni, lots of hard boiled egg (yolks only) I don't like the whites. Green onion, celery, large chunk sweet pickle relish, tuna, mayonnaise, a touch of mustard, a touch of vinegar, a touch of sugar. Have to have the egg yolks they give great taste.

This crowd pleasing Southern style macaroni recipe is a true family favorite! Macaroni pasta is tossed in a creamy mayonnaise sauce with crunchy veggies, crispy bacon and boiled eggs for one delicious side dish.

Dairy Free Macaroni Salad

This fast and easy pasta salad recipe with tender elbow macaroni, bell peppers, carrots, celery, ham, and a super creamy dressing is a family FAVORITE! You can make it up to a day in advance if desired.

Classic Macaroni Salad

dry elbow macaroni

red onion (diced finely)

carrots (finely chopped)

green onion

dill

parsley (optional for garnishing)

real mayonnaise*

vinegar

granulated sugar or light brown sugar (packed)

garlic powder

salt (plus more to taste if desired)

Cook the pasta according to package directions in salted water to al dente. When finished, drain, and rinse under cold water. While the pasta is boiling, mix up the dressing.

Dressing - To a large bowl, add all the dressing ingredients, whisk to combine; set aside.

Pasta Salad - Place drained and rinsed pasta in a large mixing bowl, add all the other pasta salad ingredients, pour the dressing over it, and toss very well to combine.

Taste and make any necessary flavor adjustments such as additional salt, pepper, garlic powder, etc.

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid, and place in the fridge to chill for at least 1 to 2 hours before serving. Tips - I don&#x27;t recommend reducing the quantity of mayo or sour cream in the recipe because even though the pasta salad will look pretty saucy and &#x27;juicy&#x27;, lots of it will absorb into the pasta as it sits in the fridge and chills.

Before serving, stir the pasta salad well, and if desired garnish with dill and/or parsley, to taste. Pasta salad can be made up to 24 hours in advance. It will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days. I don&#x27;t recommend freezing this recipe.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld well.

Just before serving, give the salad a good stir and taste it to see if you need to adjust the seasoning. Enjoy your chilled macaroni salad.
