Spiral Macaroni Salad

Submitted by Bliss

"This is one of my recipes featured in Southern Living. A gal named "Dee" made this and brought it to our office about 40 years ago, and it's been my favorite mac salad ever since. She said you can put almost any fresh garden veggie in this and it will work."

Absoltely delicious! So flavorful, I love the taste of tomatoes with the mayo! You can even add thinly sliced carrots or bread&butter pickles into this! Enjoy!

So full of flavor with all of those great ingredients! Love the dressing and would add just a touch more mayo next time.

Very good! Next time, I think I will add a little more dressing and relish. I left out the celery salt and seeds (didn't have). Thank-you!
