I wanted to find a new macaroni salad recipe because when I make it from scratch myself, I tend to use the same ingredients as my potato salad. Even though I make a fantastic potato salad, I wanted a different taste. This is absolutely the most amazing macaroni salad I have ever had in my life. I always read the reviews before I make a recipe, and usually find myself irritated by the people who change the recipe before first trying the original version. I am now guilty of doing just that. So many people said this was too sweet, so I took some changes from different reviews and proceeded to make the best macaroni salad my family has ever had. Thank you Connie0751 for giving us this amazing recipe, and please accept my apologies for making the following changes: I didn't use Miracle Whip at all, but used real mayonnaise instead. I used apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar. I only used 3 tablespoons white sugar, and because I like spicy tasting food I diced 1/2 cup of radishes and added to the mix. A lot of reviewers complained that the recipe made a very soupy salad. I was not serving it until the next day anyway, and like a lot of reviewers said, by then it had soaked into the pasta and was absolutely perfect! I will make this my go-to salad from now on, I am completely addicted!!
