This recipe was a disaster! The macaroni was overcooked, the dressing was too runny, and the bacon was burnt. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This macaroni salad was just okay. The dressing was a little too tangy for my taste, and the bacon and peas were a bit bland. I probably won't be making this again.

I'm not usually a fan of macaroni salad, but this recipe changed my mind! The dressing was tangy and flavorful, and the bacon and peas added a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making this again.
