This was a very nice, light, refreshing macaroni salad. Great for summertime outdoor eats. The cucumber and dill make it. Thanks for the post.

I really loved this macaroni salad. I added just a pinch of sugar, but did nothing else different. I loved the dill flavor. Dill goes so well with cucumbers. This is a keeper. Thanx!

Made this for Labor Day weekend block party and it was a total hit. The dill gives it an extra special touch. The only thing different I did was add a bit more mayo....otherwise its a winner!
