I love this recipe. I added more MIracle Whip because the noodles soak up a lot of it and I added just a little mayo. I excluded the carrots, instead I used frozen peas that I had on hand. I like to add ham or imatation crab meat to it too sometimes depending on what I have.

For some reason I never thought of adding cheese to a macaroni salad. This recipe set a light bulb off over my head. I used a sharper cheese and some salsa instead of the relish, and this was inhaled at a lunch full of guests on Saturday!
