Used half the amount of macaroni and half amount of cheese, the rest as stated. The dressing was enough for this amount thus I doubt if the dressing would have been enough had I used the full amount of macaroni and cheese. It is a nice salad, I especially liked the sweet gherkins in the salad and the juice of it in the dressing, that is something I will use more often. Thanks for posting.
