This recipe is delicious! I like the blend of flavors and it was super easy to make. I added 2/3c. sour cream as other reviewers suggested and I also added a large grated carrot and about 1 cup of peas. I tried it right after I had finished mixing everything and I was wonderfully surprised at how fantastic it was! The recipe suggests refrigerating it for a few hours before serving and I was excited to see how all the flavors would end up setting up. A few hours later I dished it up for dinner and my boyfriend and I both agreed that it had gotten a bit on the dry side and more bland while it had been chilling. I'll definitely make this again but this time I'll serve it up just after I finish making it. If I have to make it ahead of time then I think I might try doubling the mayo and sour cream and adding another packet of soup mix.

Very Tasty! I added some Peas and a little Mustard. I also did 1/2 Mayo and 1/2 Sour Cream and a touch of horseradish. YUMMY!

Delicious. I never thought of using the veg. dip before. I added fresh veg, so I removed the dried veg from the dip & used only the seasoning portion. A huge hit. Will def. be my go to mac salad from now on.

Not too bad, definitely lighter than most macaroni salads. I'd make again. However, be forewarned, this makes a TON. It'd be a good bet for a potluck dish.

This was pretty good, but made the following changes: I used elbow macaroni, 1 green pepper (would have loved to use red, just didn't have one), and used mayo AND sour cream (cup total). I used the Knorrs vegetable soup mix, which gave it nice flavor & color. I also added frozen peas. Next time, I will add little shrimp. Will take to a summer party!

I like this recipe as it is so simple and usually have items on hand. It's a delicious change from the usual mac salad with eggs, pickles etc. One may add green olives, peas, shredded carrots lemon juice, garlic, whatever you like to add more flavor, however is is quite tasty as is.

I used elbow macaroni,and I put one green and one red bell pepper in it.I used two stalks of celery,and added more mayo,I used the kraft mayo with olive oil.I also added a half of white onion on top of the green onion.It came out great! Alot of people were commenting saying it came out bland, but I think macaroni salad is supposed to have a very light taste.I loved it, so did the family.made well over enough to have leftovers for a couple of days.I do suggest to use only two bell peppers altogether,because it is alot,and add more mayo,but it depends on how you like it.Besides that,it's great!
