I did not like this very much. It seemed to have too much celery taste in it. It needed more sweetness and creaminess. I ended up adding more sour cream and more mayonaise just so I could eat it. I will try a different recipe next time.

We didn't get too crazy over this Macaroni Salad but I might try again leaving out the olives, using only 2 teaspoons of celery seed and add a little garlic powder.

I made this for a 4th of July BBQ, it was a hit! Delicious, I would reduce the celery seed to 1T next time.

This is wonderful! I used it for my church dinner feeding 120 ppl, and everyone raved about it. the only changes i made was doubling the dressing, i used sweet pickle relish & i sprinkled on a lil bit or sugar & bacon bits! also, it makes WAY more that 6 servings. i would estimate at about 15-18 servings per recipe.

I was asked to bring macaroni salad for a Mother's Day gathering,and I new my plain old mac.salad would be boring.I searched this site and decided on this one.It was a huge hit! very flavorful,not difficult,besides the chopping, and the sour cream dressing was much better than the ordinary mayo.I'm glad I decided on this one and will continue to make it for all gatherings from now on.

This went great with the ribs I made. I only made half a box of elbow macaroni but used the recipe amounts for everything else. I didn't have any celery, green pepper or olives. So I had to substitute some frozen peas and carrots and added some chopped roasted red peppers and a little garlic powder. It was wonderful. I almost threw some crumbled bacon in too, but didn't feel like cooking any. I will make this again and definitely add the olives some fresh carrots and peas -I love them. The red peppers gave it nice color too.

Too much celery seed not enough pickle. The pickle was easy to correct but not the celery seed. The amount of dressing seemed fine but we like it a little dry.

This is good the way it is. I'm looking for something a little different, thought this might be it, but it wasn't. It was a good salad, just thought it was still missing a little something. Will likely try it again and work with it a bit. Maybe a little less mayo or sour cream?

I have been looking for a great macaroni salad recipe for a while and this one is wonderful. My husband loved it. I did have to add more dressing as it did get dry with the full amount of macaroni used in the salad. Otherwise, a keeper.

This was a pretty good macaroni salad. I took it to a bbq and very little was left. I think it would be awesome with some salad shrimp added

I love this macaroni salad and have made it several times. All of the extras -- pickles, olives, green pepper, etc give this macaroni salad great flavor. And best of all, it's really easy to make.

I made this recipe and found several over-powering ingridients...the sweet pickles ,sweet pickle juice, pimento stuffed olives and sour cream was all you tasted . I then made it again ommiteing the sweet stuff and olives then used less sour cream and it was great, then on a serving ,a touch of dill weed (fresh) and it was outstanding!

This was really good macaroni salad. I made a few modifications for personal preference. I omitted the bell pepper and olives. Cut the recipe in half which was still a lot of salad. This is definitely a keeper. My husband claimed it as one of his favorites.

This salad was great! Like others, I did change a few things. I didn't use the measurements posted at all, just "eye balled it", and I omitted the olives. I also used plain mustard, dill pickle juice instead of sweet and diced up a few pickles in there. Other then that the salad is amazing...love the dressing! I think I've found a new favourite!

Well, I am being generous with a 4 as I had to really tweak this recipe. I loved using both sour cream and mayo, however, I cut the macaroni to half and I still had to add more mayo/sour cream. I cannot imagine using the full 16 oz of macaroni! I omitted the olives and carrots. Thanks for the post.

Great flavour, but I agree with other reviewers who recommend either decreasing the pasta to 12oz or increasing the sauce ingredients by half to get a better consistency. Will definitely make it again.

As suggested by HEBH I also made some modifications. I doubled the amount of mayonaise and sour cream. In addition to the ground mustard I added dijon mustard (2 tsp.). I doubled the amount of sweet pickle juice. I added probably about a cup of chopped sweet pickles. I omitted the pimento-stuffed green olives. I also subsituted a red bell for a green bell pepper. I added a tbsp or two of honey. Yummmmmmmmmmm.
