The wife wouldn't allow green olives (I can see how they would work though), but this was a nice pasta salad. The dressing was nice.

I make a mean Tuna Macaroni Salad. Every gathering ,I am asked to bring it. I AM SO SICK OF MAKING IT. I looked at this recipe, and thought it sounded interesting. I made it this morning. OMG !!! This is really really good. Yes it takes a little work,but way worth it. I doubled the recipe, but tripled the dressing. I used Turkey Bacon. Fantastic!!!! After six hours the dressing was perfectly absorbed. You have to try this!!!!

I made this exactly as the recipe states for a RPG gaming session with six hearty college kids and there was none left. They weren't very interested in the salad until they tried it and then it just disappeared. I did use a seedless English cucumber and black olives instead of green, but it's the dressing that really makes this. My *daughter* asked for the dressing recipe and she never likes dressing! We have made this three times in the last week - it's that good!

All of the family loved this --even my daughter who doesn't like much. Did not add the add the celery -- but did add shredded carrots and chopped broccoli. Not too vinegary for my husband. Loved it.

I've just made this for the 3rd time in a couple weeks! Everyone just LOVES this salad...I do use a lil less noodles or a lil more dressing because the noodles tend to soak it up pretty good. I sometimes leave out some of the veggies (cucumber, olives & celery) and its wonderful either way...thanks for this great recipe.

This is great. I made a few minor modifications; used fat free plain yogurt in place of the mayo (I don't like the plain yogurt by itself and I really like mayo but mixed in with other things it is hard to tell a difference), no olives, added cilantro, used turkey bacon, and just because my husband likes spicy food I diced up a fresh hot red chili pepper. I started out added the dressing slowly as other suggested but ended up using it all. Also as others suggested I didn't add the bacon and egg until ready to serve. Very good, will defiantly make again.

I don't like Macaroni Salad. I never have and I was sure I never would. I was asked to make a Macaroni Salad for an event so I went searching for a recipe I thought might have a chance. I had my doubts with every one including this one. Since I love bacon I thought it just might have a chance though. OMG! It is incredible! I couldn't stop eating it! I will be making it again and again!
