Looking for a macaroni salad recipe with exactly the right combination of sweet and savory. Look no father, I got you! This recipe comes straight from my Grandma’s kitchen and is the perfect take along side dish for any summer gathering. Barbecue, picnic, cookout, etc.

My grandma and your grandma were sitting by the fire. My grandma said to your grandma, “Hey girl, let me tell you about my macaroni salad.”

That’s how the song goes right!?

It definitely should be because my grandma makes the

BEST MAC SALAD EVER!

TALKING ‘BOUT HEY NOW!

What’s even better!? She’s willing to make a batch in exchange for baby snuggles.

I even had her write the recipe down for me, knowing I’ll never make it myself.

  As Linda said, your preferred brand of mayo. Don't feel bad, my two groups will not touch anything with Miracle Whip. And I always start with half the amount of mayo or Miracle Whip, as one can always add more, and sometimes "fixing" sometimes is tricky. Here just cook up some more macaroni and toss it in.
  
  Also easy to substitute ingredients, just google.
