SWEET MACARONI SALAD RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE IT



Sweet Macaroni Salad Recipe: How to Make It image

A sweet out-of-the-ordinary dressing makes this macaroni salad special. My aunt gave me the recipe and it has become one of my favorites. I occasionally leave out the green pepper if I know that people don't like it, and it still tastes great. —Idalee Scholz, Cocoa Beach, Florida
