Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (12 ounce) package elbow macaroni
4 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
3 stalks celery, minced

This is my go-to macaroni salad recipe. It's always a hit at potlucks and picnics.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the dressing.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. This salad is a great make-ahead dish - it's even better the next day.

This is the best macaroni salad I've ever had! The dressing is perfectly balanced and the macaroni is cooked to perfection.

I'm not a huge fan of macaroni salad, but this recipe is pretty good. The dressing is light and tangy, and the macaroni is cooked al dente.

I substituted Greek yogurt for the mayonnaise and it turned out great! This is a healthy and delicious salad that I'll definitely be making again.

I've made this salad twice now and it's been a hit both times. The dressing is tangy and flavorful, and the macaroni is cooked perfectly.

This Amish macaroni salad is a keeper! It's lower in fat than traditional recipes, but it's still packed with flavor. I especially love the addition of celery and onion.
