- Refrigerate for 1 hour and enjoy! If salad is dry just add remaining dressing until desired consistency is reached!

Yummy macaroni salad!! I made 1/4 of the recipe to have for lunches. I followed as written with two exceptions, I didn't add the green pepper (I am the only one in the family that likes it) or the sweet pickle relish. Really enjoyed this with some crackers!! This brought back memories of my Mother making this while growing up. Thanks for sharing made for Spring PAC 2010.
