I tried this per the recipe first and it was ok. I prefer a less "sweet" flavor. I made the following changes for the second batch to suit our personal tastes. The changes I made were - 1 1/2 cups frozen fresh peas - put into the pot with the macaroni, just before I drained it. Then ran everything under cold water in a strainer to cool it quickly. I sliced several green onions and added diced dill pickle. I used only 2/3 cup mayo thinned with a little dill pickle juice and mixed in a teaspoon of minced garlic from a jar - this made the "dressing" creamier. In addition to the sprinkle of paprika, I added a sprinkle of dried dill and cracked black pepper. I refrigerated it for 4 hours and the flavor was wonderful. Next time I will add some shredded or diced cheddar cheese to it as well. Thank you for the basics Peach822, it's a great stepping off point.
