This was a hit at dinner. I omitted the onion and added 1 red pepper. and used only 1 green pepper. I also did add a 1/2 packet of hidden valley ranch powder as others suggested. Turned out great!

Excellent Salad! I like my salad with a little more zip so I added 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar. Very smooth and creamy, my family loved it!

I used half gold tomatoes since my neighbor has a whole mess of them, and it added another color. This was OK but I'm mostly in agreement with those saying it lacks some flavor as is. Miracle Whip has a bit of a tang, but this did not come off in the salad. It took me a bit to figure out that I *think* it might be the milk just killing that natural tang and making it a bit of a dead mayo thing. It seems several are now adding ranch dressing mix to it, which would kick it up a bit, but that's not this recipe. I didn't think of that and had a hard time sprucing it up. As one person said, though, it is a good way to use up cucumbers and I didn't think it was too many but mine were smallish.

I made this for our Mothers Day gathering. Everyone enjoyed it. The only thing I will do differently is to add red onion or a sweet onion and perhaps some ranch dressing. My husband wanted me to add come cheese next time. It was a very good recipe. Thanks for sharing.

This is a good BASE for a macaroni salad but the recipe as-is is lacking flavor. I cut out the tomatoes and used 2 celery stalks, a red pepper and 1/2 of a green pepper. I used about a tablespoon of ranch dessing mix and a little yellow mustard to taste, added some black pepper, dried parsley, and white wine vinegar. This needs to sit an hour or 2 before serving to let the flavors develop. if you use the ranch mix I think you can leave out the onion.

Very creamy and delish but we like to add a can of tuma, fresh dill, and some chopped dill pickle.

This was ...okay... none of my daycare kids liked it and my boyfriend and I didn't really either. It was thrown out. It was lacking something important but we couldn't figure out what.
