I used half of a bell pepper and half of a red pepper, also a small jar of pimento and sliced up a cucumber in it. I made my sauce with more mayo, added sour cream and the vegetable packet, a little mustard and definitely needs a little sweetness so a little bit of sugar and of course plenty of salt and pepper. The brand of vegetable mix I used was McCormick, has real nice flavor and the veggies are tiny so you don't notice them in there. Very nice flavor!

I used Kohl's veggie soup mix and although I crushed it as much as possible, I found the dehydrated veggies were too hard even when making this dish a day in advance. I did substitute red onion for green onion and added two table spoons of sour cream in place of some of the mayo the day before. The next morning, much of the "sauce" had been absorbed so I added another cup of may and 1 cup of sour cream as well as freshly chopped dill. That really did change the flavors and in a good way.

For the people that had trouble with the vegetable soup mix making it crunchy. Break up the clumps that are in the soup mix. Then add the soup mix to the mayo and the oil. If you mix this up good before mixing it with the other stuff it won't be crunchy. The changes I have made to this recipe are: I added a cup of ranch salad dressing and used a only half cup of mayo. I also added a table spoon of white vinegar, plus sliced black olives and sliced grape tomatoes. I used just one red pepper.

Good quick recipe. I add some cumin, a can of shoepeg corn and a can of Goya black beans to this for more of a southwestern mac. salad. If you like spicy... add some Cayenne pepper as well.

It was ok not as good as I expected. There was too much red pepper, and it just watered everything down. I like a creamier macaroni salad, I will try again next time using less pepper, and maybe a bit more salt and pepper, it was bland.

My family loved this. Me & my husband do not like store bought Macaroni Salad but daughter wanted me to find a good recipe. We tried this and loved it. Will make over and over.

I do like this salad very much, but I used only 12 oz. of macaroni, added a big spoon full of sour cream and followed the recipe exactly otherwise. I found the salad to be very dry. I added an additional 1/4 cup of mayo thinned with about a 1/2 cup of milk and that was okay. I think next time I will also add a little vinegar. The flavor is very good, but needs a little kick.

This is really good. I did not change a thing, but I got to thinking next time on the side cut cherry tomatoes in half, have some grated parmesan cheese, black olives, green olives,maybe some feta and goat cheese and some extra may with a little garlic in it and also some sourcream. Everyone can add or not add what they want to jazz it up. Thanks great recipe.

This recipe was one of the easiest and tastiest macaroni salad I've ever made. The next day everyone was looking for the leftovers ... and it does taste even better the next day. So the next time I make it, I'll make it a day earlier. haha

I did not like the vegetable soup mix in this. Even after refrigerating for hours it was still crunchy (in a bad way). I will not make this again.

I thought this was the best macaroni salad I ever made. My husband liked it, and he usually detests macaroni salad. I took this to a family Christmas party, and my sister-in-law, who's a great cook, asked for the recipe. I followed the recipe as listed here with a couple of minor adjustments: Per other reviewers' comments, I added 1/2 c. sour cream and a dash of white wine vinegar with the mayo; I think the vinegar really adds some much-needed acidity. The veggie soup mix really gives this a lot of flavor, and I like that it contains a lot of vegetables, not just pasta. I'll make this one again, for sure.

This recipe was not to our liking. I am a very good cook and made this exactly how the recipe said. It was to much of everything. Nobody liked it. I will stick with the old fashioned way.

This was super easy and the vegetable soup mix gave it a great flavor. I got lots of compliments about it at my neighborhood BBQ. The only alteration I made was that the soup mix I bought had whole dried vegetables mixed in with the powder so I had to sift them out.

Very nice pasta salad. I had never tried dried vegetable soup mix in a dish but it was great. You do want the salad to sit in the fridge a few hours before serving so you aren't biting into dried vegetables from the soup mix - and to let it mellow. I'm not a huge pepper fan but the flavors work so well in this dish. Since it is a little bland (which many people love), my only change was to add a significant amount of dried dill - it really brings out all the flavors.

Pretty good! Followed the recipe closely, except for not adding any celery(not a fan), and the store ran out of green pepper so I had two red and one yellow. Also I sifted the veggie soup mix, and then blended the dried vegetables in my magic bullet until they were very fine and added them in with the mayo. When I tasted it, it was extremely salty...so next time I will not puree the vegetables, and just leave them out. I compensated for the saltyness with sugar, and quite a bit of it...probably 1/8 cup if I had to guess. Anyway this completely fixed my problem and after a few hours in the fridge it tasted DELICIOUS! So thanks for the recipe! Will make again for sure, the DH loved it!

Super delicious! I used ranch dressing mix since I didn't have any soup mix on hand. Like other users added sour cream, I added nonfat yogurt for extra tang. Thanks for sharing!

This was delicious! Instead of using macaroni, we used tri-colour rotini (because tha's what we had on hand), added black olives (because we LOVE them!) and 1 tbsp of sugar and 1 tbsp of white wine vinegar...as we had double the amount for our BBQ we had lots left the next and it still tasted yummy then too! Thanks for the recipes, Samantha!
