Nice recipe! The only thing I changed was adding half a teaspoon of evaporated milk, which made the mayo's texture better.

I also used Knorrs vegie soup mix and some of the small bits of vegies stayed a litte tough to chew; also, it was a bit too salty for me. I think if you maybe used a little bit less soup mix it would be great.

I had to doctor this recipe up too much to recommend it to others. I used Knorrs vegetable soup mix and thought it was too salty.

Great recipe! So simple to make and not to mayonnaise-y, which is a typical problem for mac salads. I made mine using onion soup mix. Good stuff!

I usually don't love macaroni salad, but I love this. I usually add pepper to my salad and sometimes extra mayonnaise or sour cream because it can occassionally be a bit dry. It's a very popular potluck salad and I often get asked for the recipe.

I had never made macaroni salad and picked this one since it seemed easy. I took it to a party and it was GONE. Everyone loved it. I haven't liked a lot of macaroni salad I've had in the past so I always made potato salad. But this one was really good.

Didn't care for this one. The soup mix just gave it a weird taste.

Used fusili pasta, a splash or two of white wine vinegar and everything else was the same, yummy! And how could anybody complain about vinegar when it wasn't in the original recipe???

too much vinegar. next time i would use only a tablespoon of vinegar and would substitute wine vinegar, if i used any at all. the vinegar does not add to the flavor but will keep it from drying out.

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.

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
