The key to this recipe is the dressing! I doubled the recipe as some readers suggested and I used it to moisten the salad the next day. You can use any pasta and veggies you like. I had broccoli, red onion and assorted peppers handy so I used them. Yummy!!!

This should be named Classic Macaroni Salad, because it is. The sour cream puts this just enough tang that its not a mouth feel of just mayo, which is a very good thing. This is my "go to" mac salad from now on. Oh, and the tomato really makes it. Seems like a basic enough recipe that you could play with how you want with different add-ins. Im going to try it with white cheese next.

Oh wow! So yummy! Very simple and full of flavor. Taste even better the next day :-D Instead of using elbow macaroni, I used small shell pasta. I like how all the ingredients gets trapped inside the pasta shells. Makes it really tasty and yummier :o

I added small bell peppers in it too. Since I didn't have cider vinegar, I substituted it for diluted red wine vinegar. The sauce will appear thick until you add the vinegar. Then it will seem thin until you combine it with the pasta. It tastes great! It tends to become a little less juicy, more drier, once in the fridge for a couple of hours. Maybe if serving this dish a little later, do not combine the dressing and pasta immediately. Keep them stored in the fridge separately and combine when ready to serve.

I found this recipe a couple of years ago and have been making it ever since. I followed the recipe the first time, then I made a couple of changes. I use scallions instead of red onion, dill instead of parsely and I also add sliced black olives. I absolutely love the chopped tomato, which I never would've thought to put in macaroni salad, but I seed the tomato because I hate the seeds! Also, I usually double the dressing so I have more to add if it needs it because pasta really sucks up dressing like a sponge! Truly a great recipe! Thanks!

I loved the base but thought it needed a little more something. I added a half a green bell pepper, half a red bell pepper and a can of black olives. I also added a little more of each of the veggies listed in the recipe. After that it was awesome!!
