This is a very tasty macaroni salad with a unique dressing. I really enjoyed the flavor and this is a great choice for a potluck. I liked the yellow color from the turmeric. Next time, I will add less sugar as this was very sweet and I might also add some additional veggies, perhaps red pepper or cherry tomatoes. Thank you for sharing this tasty family recipe!

The dressing has outstanding flavor! It does get that nice bright yellow color. The flavor is great, but for presentation sake, you may want to add dome chopped red peppers, or radishes or carrots. Thanx for sharing your Mom's recipe. It's a keeper for sure!
