This macaroni salad was excellent! Here are the changes I made: I used tricolor rotini to give it some color and I also added halved cherry tomatoes. I didn't use any lettuce because I didn't have any on hand, and I added an extra slice of chopped bacon. I also used about half the amount of Caesar dressing (creamy, not the vinaigrette). This was so good!

this was great! Works well for potlucks. You are bringing pasta and a green salad all in one. Very tasty! I made as is. Wait to add dressing till serving. Would not last for leftovers. Need to find a great caesar dressing to make this excellent!

this was very tasty although i thought there were too many eggs in it. it tasted more like egg salad with lettuce and pasta in it. the mix of lettuce and pasta was kind of weird. i didn't think it quite worked in plate appeal.

A nice twist on regular mac salad. I would recommend adding the ceaser dressing right before serving. Do not put it in ahead of time because the salad will wilt. Also try putting the bowl of salad over another bowl with ice in it to keep it fresh and cold.

Very good recipe Nicole. A very simple, quick meal to make but very filling to eat. I did use two grilled chicken breasts that were leftover from the meal the night before ~ cubing them and adding them in. It makes a lot so if your only feeding a few or are planning on leftovers - you may want to add the lettuce and croutons per bowl/per serving - they're pretty soft by the next day if you mix it all together as shown in the picture.

I found this recipe to be boring and rather flavorless when made exactly as written. I searched my kitchen to find something to give it a little kick. I added sliced green olives and diced fresh tomato. That helped. I think adding onions, cucumbers, green or red pepper, celery or anything like that would be better also.

I used wheat pasta because it is healthier. I left out the crutons because I don't care for them. I added shaved parm. cheese, you can't have romaine salad without it. I also added chicken to it. I did not care for the eggs and bacon in it. Next time I will leave them out and add some grape tomatoes.
