SUMMER MACARONI SALAD
When we grill, my mother asks me to make this summer pasta salad. To make it extra creamy, I like to keep a small amount of dressing separate and stir it in just before serving. -Carly Curtin, Ellicott City, Maryland

[email protected]I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra salt and pepper to the dressing, and I also added some chopped red onion for a bit of extra flavor. It was much better after I made those changes.
