Absolutely Brilliant! The vegetable soup mix is just the ticket and adds so much flavor. Of course there are so many people with so many different tastes that this won't make everyone happy but is a great place to start. I made mine with celery, sweet white onion, olives, dill pickles and imitation crab meat. I will use this basic recipe and doctor it in many ways. Thanks!

awesome, I added 1 table spoon sugar (makes it richer) and you can vary this with cooked chopped bacon or cooked chopped chicken breast added.

This is a fantastic macaroni salad. My mother had to make sure she took a giant bowl home with her. Most macaroni salads are all the same, but this one has the vegetable soup mix which perfectly seasons it. Pasta can really soak up the dressing, so I ran the pasta under cool water when it was done. I then doubled the dressing and let it sit in the fridge overnight. I added another spoonful of mayo right before serving to make it creamier. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.

i've always made a really good macaroni salad, but was looking for something different. i made this and added the vinegar, sugar, more pepper, sour cream, but if you could see the look on my husband's face when he tasted it.........not good. just had a weird taste to us, and he wanted to know why I tried something different.

I agree with one of the previous posters, that this recipe is a great start. I of course doctored it to our liking. I added balsamic vinegar, mustard powder, onion powder, and topped it off with romano cheese. I also omitted the green peppers, and added little broccoli florets instead. It was amazing. Thanks!

AMAZING!! I thought this recipe was so great that I signed up just so I could rate it. I made this for a cookout and it was the 1st salad gone. I even overheard people telling eachother to try it and how good it was, not knowing that I made it. I used one green pepper, one red, and 2 celery stalks. I also added a little salt. I am so happy with it that I made sure to save it in case I was ever stumped on what to bring somewhere.

I needed a recipe for a kid's bbq and this one worked great! After reading some of the reviews, I decided to add frozen peas, cubed cheese and shredded carrots. SO YUMMY! Thanks to Sam and the reviews, they helped.

just ok. I cut the peppers amount and doubled the mayo because it was too dry. The only person that ate it was my "pepper lover".

I really like this recipe--it is a great base for your own creativity. I used WW penne pasta and halved the recipe, reconstituting a full packet of the soup mix with about 1/4 cup water. I didn't have peppers or green onions, so I used fresh chives and added chopped dill pickles, celery & carrots, a few cherry tomatoes, a splash of red wine vinegar (will use more next time)and still thought it was just a tad dry. I will definitely try it again and tweak it a little more--the flavor was delicious!

I tried this recipe for thanksgiving when I was asked to bring a salad over to family and I must say it is awesome! Everyone loved it. I added all different color peepers and added a little bit more of the vegetable dry soup mix as well as 1/2 pack of Onion soup mix and 2 spoons of sour cream. It was great! I will be making this salad again and again and again. Thanks!
