"Oh, really? Your making macaroni salad?" My Mom and Hubby aren't fans of mac salad, they prefer potato salad. Well, this was so good my Mom and Hubby wouldn't stop "tasting" it before I could add the celery. Added hard boiled egg to my Hubby's serving. This is a keeper for us and I will be making it all summer long. I used Dream Field Elbow Pasta and chopped sweet white onion, omitting the scallion and onion power.

I lvoe the concept of this, and have ended up enjoying it, but have had to tweak it quite a lot. I found it to be way too dry so I added another large spoonful of both ff mayo and ff sour cream. I also added a huge shake of garlic powder, though I think some other spices would be nice. It is definitely filling and easy, though. Thanks for posting.
