SUPPER ON THE PORCH SALAD

This was posted in the Idaho Press Tribune from Beth Edwards in Caldwell, Idaho (she submitted her favorite recipe). Never has it crossed my mind to make a macaroni salad for dinner, but it's quick and simple and of course, delicious. I substituted pepper jack cheese for more bite and added some dill pickles marinated in garlic (plus a little juice). Serving size is estimated (it wasn't listed). Thank you Beth for your great recipe!
