Thank you for the recipe Jim! My husband said after one bite, shortly after thrown together "Best. Mac. Salad. Ever." I didn't make any changes, just added celtic salt as the salt, which I love. Can't wait to see what people think tomorrow!

omgoodness, this is so good. I didn't add the vinegar or pimento, or dill pickles, or processed cheese. I did add half a packet of ranch, used sweet pickle relish, and diced pepper jack cheese.

This Salad Was Good! Had A Great Tang To It. I Did Make Changes To It. I Added 1 Cup Onion, 1/2 Of Celery Because I Didn't Have Green Peppers, Did Not Add The Cheese Or The Eggs (I'm Not A Big Fan Of Eggs.), I Thinly Sliced Some Carrots And Added Some Garlic Powder. I Also Used Some Dill Pickles We Canned. The Crunch Of The Celery, Carrot, And Onion Was Awesome. Thank You For The Recipe.

This was just okay. I had to add a few other ingredients because it didn't have any flavor at all. Probably won't make it again.

Excellent!!! Have made several times. These are the alterations I have made to the recipe. Instead of pimento I use a half a jar of roasted red pepper and decrease the macaroni to 8 ounces. Everything else is the same. Will make again and again.

It's a great recipe but I added celery seed. You can also use chopped celery.

This was just what I was looking for: Grandma's macaroni salad. I didn't want drippy, tangy, grocery deli macaroni salad. This one was a perfect "pasta" salad. Perfect for my taste, blending grandma's macaroni with Kraft ranch pasta salad. It's really good and simple. I took the advice of others and doubled the mayo-vinegar dressing. Do this! I promise it won't be soupy! Slicing olives is tedious so I stopped at a 1/2 can. Try this. Stir the olives in. If you think you need more, you've got a half can in front of you, so add what you like. I love crunch and was so itching to add celery, but the bell pepper and onion, plus the chopped pickle and pimento added enough crunch to satisfy the celery freak/ extra lettuce me. I enjoyed this so much, I made another batch 3 days later. 3 days after that I was buying macaroni salad at the grocery store to fulfill my craving while on my lunch break at work. Does not compare! Make this salad! It's my new fave!
