I made the recipe as is - just had shredded cheese on hand I needed to use. I also went with reduced fat sour cream and mayo, used skim milk. Terrific salad and easy to make!

I'm not sure what it was about this that I did not like, maybe the sour cream taste? It was also pretty bland. I did love the added cheese, and I might make this again without sour cream or peas... which pretty much makes it plain macaroni salad with cheese.

This salad was a nice change from the same old Miracle Whip dressing. It just seems to get better in the refrigerator, too.

This was good. I didn't use the peas (kids don't like) and added additional salt and pepper. I also like to reserve (or make additional) dressing to apply after refridgerated, to make the salad creamier.

This is my new all time favorite macaroni salad!!!

It was very creamy but tasted too much like tartar sauce for my liking. I will probably go back to my original recipe though. Thank you. Chris.

This is my new favorite I only put onion, green and red peppers and cheddar but it was fabulous and I look forward to using some of the reviewer suggestions.

Loved it. Took it to work, ate with some crackers and it was filling.

This is my new all time favorite macaroni salad!!!

I thought it was okay, alittle bland. I didn't have any peas to put in it so maybe that was the problem. My husband liked it. Probably won't make it again. Thanks anyway.

This is so yummy! I always double the recipe because it tastes better and better the longer it sits in the fridge! I also add chunked ham black olives. Thanks so much for sharing!

This was excellent..the best dressing I have had in years, I did add a bit more sweetner..(I use 1 packet equal) I took it to a family gathering and everyone wanted recipe and leftovers.

I used fresh peas out of my garden and left out the bell pepper(only because I didn't have any)and the sweet relish(don't like sweet pickles). Instead of the relish, I used chopped dill pickle. My husband loved it.

I Loved it... And so did my family of four I had to double everything and made just a few changes like the onions I added green onion and I also added bacon to it and a three hard boiled eggs this was great my husband took some to work with him and said "I need to make more of this" (Note: that day was 90 degrees and 78% humidity) and he said it was so good to have something that filled him and didnt make him hot. I just want to thank you for this recipe.

I loved it! I doubled everything about it for a picnic with about 6 people and still had plenty of left overs! Great basic pasta salad but slightly different also. YUM!

This salad was great, althought I did add a view more ingrediants to make it even better. First I added some red bell pepper, and green onions instead of using red, yellow or white onions. I also added ham cubes to the salad as well. It was great. I love red bell pepper and I love how it gives such great flavor. I reccomend making this salad the night before, that way all the veggies come together and it becomes full of flavor. Other than that I love this recipe. Great to eat with crackers too!
