This is the best macaroni salad that I’ve tasted. (I also have a fantastic pasta salad recipe.) If you like Knorr’s Spinach dip recipe, you’re gonna love this!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

A fantastic and basic macaroni salad for just about any occasion. What makes this is a little different is the dressing. Mixing mayo and sour cream make this sweet and tangy at the same time. Then, the Knorr vegetable mix adds a ton of flavor to the dressing. Fresh veggies not only add flavor but a little crunch. The peas may have been our favorite. Their pop of sweetness is a nice contrast to the other ingredients. A great addition to your summer cookout menu.

Easy, right? Warning, this recipe may have to be doubled, as people gobble this up. I doubled this recipe for a barbeque for 12 people and there were no leftovers.

Note: I’ve sometimes added boiled baby (bay) shrimp, diced turkey, diced ham, or even crumbled bacon. This recipe can easily be adapted to your family’s taste.
