Doubled the recipe and added 3 chopped hard-boiled eggs, 1/2 a minced onion (in place of green onions), a splash of spicy mustard, and 1 green bell pepper. Delish!

Personally, we like our mac. salad with more vegetables than two. Try celery, peas, maybe some grated carrots. Give it some body, so that people know they are eating salad.

Great basic recipe. To make it healthier, I used fat free mayo, cut back to 1/2 cup, and 1/4 cup of fat free plain yogurt.

Was looking for a simple side dish and this was the best. Made it exactly as is and loved it. Nice kick from the peppers and will make it many more times.

It turned out great. I was just looking for a basic recipe to go with a cheeseburger plate. It's a Rochester, NY thing. Basically at the end I would be pouring a Texas style meat hot sauce over the macaroni salad so I left out the jalapenos and added celery. I also substituted with white vinegar. It really turned out excellent.

Was good- I could have used a bit more spice. Maybe the jalepeno peppers were not spicy enough.

Wow! Let me start off by saying that I didn't have all the ingredients called for so I had to do some substitutions. Instead of Cider Vinegar I used 1/2 Red Wine Vinegar & 1/2 Balsamic Vinegar. I also didn't have Jalapenos, plus I had to feed this to my kids so I used Yellow Peppers instead, which are much more mild. I also didn't add all of the mayo cause I ran out, but it was only like 3 tablespoons short, which turned out perfect. Once I was done putting it together, I decided to add a little handful of cilantro since it seemed like a good match. [Great choice by the way!] This Mac Salad was OUTSTANDING. I really, really liked it & I am NOT typically a Mac Salad fan. I will definately make this again. Infact, I can't wait to make it for my family who loves spicy stuff. Thanks for the recipe!!

My family loves this macaroni salad. The peppers give it a nice kick. Sometimes I'll add tuna or shrimp to it, just for a little different taste, but it's good on it's own. I do, however, use less salt than the recipe calls for. Plan on making it tonight. Yum. Yum.

I don't eat macaroni salad but made it for a picnic with family who like spicy dishes. Everybody loved it. I had the foresight to put the recipe in my pocket and can't remember how many copies were made that day. Thank you

This is a great way to establish your own macaroni salad by following the basics of this very easy recipe. I would have liked to try the jalapenos, but didn't have any. I did however, have the traditional jarred pimentos. Nice picnic side dish.

Nice flavor with just the right bite-- which you can control by making the sauce first. Was a tad dry as a leftover so if you're making a day in advance you'll want to keep this in mind. We really enjoy this with sloppy Joe's. Thanks, Kim!

i absolutely loved this recipe, and so does everyone who tries it! the spiciness is a surprising change that sets this recipe apart and makes it memorable. i changed a few things: i used regular onions instead of green, chopped up a red bell pepper for color, added fresh cilantro, and used fresh ground black pepper instead of white pepper. also, if you want to make this even spicier, DON'T take out the membranes and seeds- that's where all the heat is! anyway, thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe!

Oh gosh, I hate to be the party-pooper here... This salad came out better than most...however, I had to make a few adjustments. I started right away by cutting the vinegar in half. Also, it was a bit too salty for the men in my house, so next time I'll only add salt to taste. To this recipe I also added a tsp. of pimentos, a tad more sugar and a finely diced carrot. With my changes, I'll probably make this salad again!

I made this for a bbq we had at the health centre I work at and it was a huge hit. It was easy to make! I made a triple recipe and I am glad I did. I did add sliced black olives and an additional three red hot peppers for color. I will definitely make this again!!
