We LOVE this simple macaroni salad! 9 times out of 10, when I make macaroni salad this is the recipe I use. I do have to say that I don't always have 'Dijonnaise' on hand, so I'll just sub dijon mustard. Depending ob my mood, I may even add some hard boiled eggs from time to time. Great, reliable, 'classic' recipe~YUM! :)

This recipe was very good. I tried it out to see how many it would serve. Each serving would equate to 1 cup per serving. I could only get 4 cups packed. Heidi I would like to know how much egg you put in our recipe and was it just the egg white? Start asking the recipe submitters to suggest the serving size.

The dressing on this is very creamy. I also added 1/3 c milk to keep it moist, and modified with other goodies I had in the house, shreaded cheese, egg, diced ham... couldn't stop eating it!

This is a 5-star macaroni salad! Have been making it for years either as a side dish with hamburgers, hotdogs or ribs or as a lunch salad with crab meat and halved or quartered cherry tomatoes added. Delicious!

The name of this recipe is perfect...this is truly a classic macaroni salad! I personally do not care for elbow macaroni as I feel they get too mushy after cooking and mixing, so I substituted a 12 oz. box of bow tie pasta. Everything else I followed perfectly, however, after tasting, I added about a 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon more sugar. All in all, a wonderful recipe that can be tweaked in many ways to suit your personal taste. 5 stars!!!

I really liked the dressing for this macaroni salad! It was the right balance of ingredients. It was not too thick or too sweet like a lot of recipes. I also doubled the recipe, because 5 servings would have not worked for a bbq and it fit nicely in a medium sized bowl. Besides, macaroni normally comes in 16oz boxes. However, the children who ate it, picked out the green vegetables. I am giving it high rating because the dressing was perfect! If I make again, I am going to change the added ingredients that appeal to more people at a bbq such as eggs and shredded cheese. I might even try a bag of frozen defrosted peas and carrots to give this macaroni salad some needed color. I will have to look up some ideas though. But, I would keep the dressing as is!
