What kind of “creamy dressing” do you use?
Salad dressing or mayonnaise will work!
Have you ever used raw honey in place of sugar? Of course, SMALLER portion.
No, I haven’t, but you can if you like it.
@Jane
I made my own dressing by combining equal parts of mayonnaise and yogurt with a little bit of mustard, lemon juice, salt and ground black pepper. But you can use any store-bought dressing as well.
What kind of yogurt, plain or flavored
Plain yogurt.
Made this for the second time for a potluck…..brought home an empty dish for the second time! One of the easiest, tastiest macaroni salads that I’ve ever fixed! Thanks for sharing on Pinterest!
You are welcome! 🙂
I love macaroni salad but kind of surprised so much sugar in the recipe—is that a typo?
No, it is not a typo. That is the recipe that I got. I also don’t like sugar in my salads.
I like to use 1/2 mayo and 1/2 sour cream in these kinds of salads. Sooo good.
That is a great dressing, too.
