Pretty bland, added some thawed frozen peas for color, added prepared yellow mustard for some additional flavor, used grape tomatoes but left them whole so they wouldn't leak juice into the salad and make it watery. I used Dreamfields brand elbows to make this lower-carb for a diabetic-friendly side-dish. I think it needs more acid and will probably adjust prior to serving. Sometimes pasta salad needs time to mingle before you tinker with it to adjust to taste.

This was wonderful! It was the easiest salad to make. The dressing was the best. I'm going to use that for my potato salad! I soaked the onions and tomatoes (a suggestion from one of the reviews in the apple cider vinegar for about 15 mins. What a difference it makes! Then just pour the juice into the mayo mix. Also, if you leave a little of the dressing out it's nice to add it in before you serve it or the next day. I even addd a little more vinegar to the dressing. Try it, you'll like it.

This is delicious! It's not that gloppy, sugary stuff you get at the grocery store. It is light and has real flavor. I did what another viewer did and added the vinegar to the red onion and let it sit. It takes the sting out. Then I added the rest of the sauce to it. I used some tomato, as another viewer suggested. I also opted to add a cup of sliced hard cheddar cheese. It was a hit with both me and my husband. Mom would be proud!

Always a hit when I make this. Very easy, and very tasty. It also uses very little mayo, which I like.

I got a great tip from the Test Kitchen.I also don't like the strong taste of red onion.It can overpower other flavors. The trick is to put it into a bowl separately with the vinegar. Let it sit there while you do the other prep work. I did this as well when I made cucumber salad. It works!!

My future sister in law loves this macaroni salad mainly because she's not a huge fan of salads made with just mayonnaise. The sour cream really does make this macaroni salad wonderful. I usually make one box, or 1 lb of dry macaroni. I actually then triple the recipe, but only use 1/4 teaspoon of dry mustard so that it's not too spicy. I add petite steamed peas to it. I just run them under cold water for a minute or so in the strainer before adding them. Everyone seems to like it that way. I don't add all of the sauce at once and cool the pasta before adding it. Right before I'm ready to serve I add the leftover sauce and it makes it very creamy and delicious!

The best macaroni salad I ever had! I doubled the recipe. I didn't have cider vinegar so I used white wine vinegar and only added 1 1/2 tbsp. The sour cream made this recipe superb! Yumm!

loved this! the sour cream is key. I usually never add tomatoes to a macaroni salad but I made this recipe to the tee and loved it. I did seed the tomato before chopping it. Adds some nice color too.
