Love the recipe, made some tweaks that were delicious: See new recipe here... 2 1/2 cups uncooked tiny shells macaroni 2 1/2 cups radiatore pasta 1/2 cup cup mayonnaise 3/4 cup sour cream 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar 2/3 cup white sugar 2 1/2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/3 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 large onion, chopped 2 stalks celery, chopped 1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped 2 cups frozen peas 1/2 dozen baby carrots chopped This variation was fantastic, and I serve it regularly as a potluck dish at my church.

This is exactly like the macaroni salad that I had as a child. The only thing different is that I added approximately 1 cup of 1/4" cubed American or Cheddar cheese. This recipe is absolutely outstanding!!!!

This is very good and great for sharing with friends and family. I'm glad I cut back the sugar to 1/2 because it is sweet. I also will cut back a bit on the onion next time as a personal preference. Thank you.

The only macaroni salad I knew how to make was mayo, pepper, macaroni and tuna fish. Love the internet. I made this and it's delicious. I used only 1/4 cup sugar. And 2nd time used half on onion. Still too oniony for me...but...now that I have the basics on making a great salad, I will tweek each time I make it. Oh, I added a can of kidney beans. GREAT recipe.

I've tired many macaroni salad recipes and this is finally the one my family asks for. I've already made it about a dozen times. Thanks for sharing.

This was by far the best macaroni salad ever! I took it to a barbeque and it was completely finished! Thanks:)

Really really good. I didn't have green peppers only had red so I used some of them and used green onions instead of regular onions to make up for the color contrast. I will make this one again its really super tasty!!

I've been looking for a great macaroni salad and this is it! Cut the recipe in half and it came out great! Even my husband, who doesn't like macaroni salad, loved this one. This is a keeper in my home!

I'm reviewing based on a friend making this and bringing over. I'm not sure if she followed to a tee, however, she is the type to follow the exact recipe but she did say no pimento used (she halved the recipe also). I've always steered clear of Mac salads but am glad I tried this & upon asking for recipe, found out she got it on this site I utilize frequently! I will make this myself when I need a side dish for company or a potluck. Good recipe you can tweak to your own personal taste. I will no longer turn my nose up at this type of salad and included it in my recipe box. Thanks to JMOR777!

I followed reviewers advice and used mayo and a lot less sugar. It turned out great. I have made this a few times and it is always gobbled up.

I made this recipe just as directed except that I didn't have celery so I used some celery seed for the celery flavor. This was fast and easy to prepare - the hardest thing was waiting four hours to eat it! Simply wonderful! This will become a staple in my house!

I really enjoyed this macaroni salad recipe, but next time, I will use less sugar, as I found it too sweet for my liking.

Very easy to make and seems to taste better each following day. I made this for a housewarming party and it was a big hit. Cut the sugar by a third & added chopped red and yellow bell peppers. Fantastic! Not too sweet or sour. Will try it next time adding peas & possibly chopped ham.
