A wonderful taste of freshness here, macaroni, cooled with great vegetables how could you go wrong? I used a whole wheat pasta with extra vitamins, but other then that stayed true to the recipe. The yogurt was a delightful taste and I used garlic powder to taste (about 1/8 tsp.) This is a tried and true recipe that it so delicious, it will make your day and your night better too. Put it together quickly in the morning, by the evening you will enjoy. Or just eat it right from the bowl after making, (I did) who am I kidding? People are going to wait all day to eat this, you will be working on making it again that evening. :D Thanks as always, Kitten. Fall 2008

Great (and colorful) picnic salad. As written in the intro, I added 3 chopped hard-boiled eggs. I used the red onions, and the lesser amount of peas listed. For the medium tomato, I halved a handful of grape tomatoes because I think they slice nicer/neater. I subbed reduced fat sour cream for the yogurt without a problem. This recipe is a keeper......thanx!

A visually bright and appealing salad with a delicious blend of flavours and variety of textures. I used only about ½ a tablespoon of mustard (personal taste preference) and used Greek yoghurt and reduced fat mayonnaise. I used 6 deliciously sweet baby carrots and I added 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1 red pepper, diced and about a dozen halved kalamata olives. A flavoursome and sustaining salad! I enjoyed this for lunch over several days, and my parents enjoyed the portion I left with them. Thanks Kitten for another super summer salad which I’ll be making again over the next few months. Next time, I'm going to follow your suggestion and add a couple of chopped hard-boiled eggs. Sounds like a yummy addition!

This was the best macaroni salad I have ever had or made! It looks just beautiful also. I did add the hard boiled eggs, 4 of them, and I used 1 container of Greek yogurt (6 ounces). I added 1 teaspoon of sugar to the dressing and added some fresh minced parley and 2 seeded and chopped red Fresno chiles because I wanted to use them in something. This will be the recipe I use from now on, thanks Kittencal!

Kitt I wish I could give this macaroni salad more stars!! Couldnt wait for it to chill, filled my bowl up! Love the dressing with its bit of zing. Put the vegetables together with my DH in mind so omitted the red onion and celery. Instead I used celery seed and a extra shake of onion powder. No frozen peas on hand so I used a can of garden fresh peas and 2 medium tomatoes. Cant wait to give it a try after chilling in the fridge! The tomatoes are perfect and anyone who enjoys macaroni salad should give this recipe a try! Made and reviewed for KK"s Going Green For March Tag Game.

I was just looking for a different salad to have with my potato salad for lunch other than just a mayonnaise only and read this and liked it. Then saw it was your recipe Kitten. I seem to love all of your recipes and this is another one. When I first made this and tasted I thought, "hmmm not sure" then when I took it out of the fridge in the morning what a difference in taste. This definitely should sit overnight as stated. I think I made a boo boo though by adding the garlic powder twice but even though it really tasted wonderful. I don't ever use regular tomatoes (could never find any that I like) I use the Campari tomatoes. They are smaller than a tomato and larger than a cherry tomato, but the flavor is so tasty. Wonderful salad Kitten and it went very well with my potato salad. I think next time I will try adding the hard boiled eggs too. Thanks

I made this with gluten free pasta and no yogurt (I'm dairy-free). It was great, loved the veggies. Big hit at the cookout, thanks!

This is a excellent macaroni salad and a very nice way to get a few extra veggies in the diet. The yogurt is a lovely addition. I skipped the tomato out of choice but all else was as ask for with the green onion choice.

I agree, this is a visually stunning recipe. I used red wine vinegar instead of cidar vinegar, and although I already had green onions I chose to buy and use red onions. I loved this recipe, and I will definetely try it again.
