Dunkley's Famous Macaroni Salad image

I saw this recipe on Food Network back years ago when it was the Food Channel. This was a recipe shared by a viewer, named Dunkley. I have been making this ever since and it is my favorite pasta salad. It makes a lot of salad, so make it when you will be feeding a crowd. Everyone who has tried it has really liked it. I hope...
