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!

A nice twist to summer macaroni salad. Loved the cheese cubes and wouldn't change a thing about the recipe.

We really liked this, but I added some chopped ham and I had to add quite a bit of garlic powder, salt and pepper to make it taste really flavorful, otherwise the flavor was a little bland. I will make it again though, I think it'd be great at a cookout!

Found this dish to be on the bland side & starchy with the cheddar. I'll likely use some of the other reviewer's suggestions & change the cheese if I make it again.

I'd say this is an excellent recipe -- after I "tweeked" it to adjust to our personal tastes. Definitely needed more mayo and sour cream so we adjusted it to include mayo, sour cream and Miracle Whip salad dressing -- added 1/2 more of each.

I thought this was pretty good, but my husband didn't like it. I added black olives to the recipe and more relish. Next time I might try and use miracle whip instead of mayo.

This is kinda similar to the macaroni salad I found in an old cookbook of my dads. I didnt like that one because it tasted too much like plain ol' mayonaisse - this was better with the sour cream & relish but still wasnt great in my opinion. Thanks.

This was pretty good. Had some extra pasta shells to use up and this was perfect for it. Had to add more like 1/2 cup of sour cream and mayo. Instead of sweet relish, I chopped up a couple of dill pickles I had. I left out the peas and chopped up a couple of eggs instead.I also used shredded cheddar instead of the cubes. A little garlic powder was a nice touch.

I'm just gonna give this one 4 stars because I made some changes. I took other reviewers suggestions, and used miracle whip instead of mayo because of preference. I also threw an egg, and some garlic salt into it. It turned out delicious.

I really liked the mayonnaise, sour cream and milk part of this recipe as it is much lighter than just mayonnaise. However we found that it needed "something" to zip it up a bit. When trying this for the second time I mixed the mayo, sour cream and milk together and added in approx. 1 tbsp prepared pesto. That did it, now we love this recipe.

Oh Yea, we like this, the only thing I do different, is for some we like it this way, others like ham and boiled egg. So I make it both ways. If adding Ham and boiled egg we add extra Mayo or Sour Cream to your liking, we prefer adding mayo. I also add about another tbsp of milk. We like a little more Mayo vs. Sour cream. So So good. Thanks for the post.

A nice, quick recipe. It does need a little something, and it tends to get a little dry after being in the fridge several hours (add a little more mayo and/or milk, and that helps a lot). I've made it a few times, and I'm still tweaking it. Garlic powder helps! I made it yesterday, added a little leftover chopped cooked chicken. That would make a great light lunch, would be awesome at work! Could probably add tuna without hurting the recipe... Oh, one more thing: I always put in dill relish instead of sweet relish, the pickle adds extra yumminess! :)

Held back a star because I made some crucial changes that seriously change the taste of the dish. I do NOT like sweet relish (I know most cold salads like this always use it, so I change it!), instead I used dill...and more of it...more like 1/4 cup. I added a little chopped cucumber (seeds removed), a dash of garlic powder, and used green onion in place of regular onion. Great base recipe though. Thanks for posting.

This was a good recipe. The only adjustment I made was adding two hard boiled eggs. It seems the dressing was the perfect amount and didn't make it overly creamy like so many other recipes do. I will continue to use this recipe.

My first macaroni salad. It looked good and I made it according to the recipe, except I added a little more mayo, but it just didn't taste right to me.
