Creamy Classic Macaroni Salad image

This has been one of my family favorites for years. I believe it came from Hellman's originally but I have modified it somewhat and only use Kraft Mayo.

Overall, I thought this macaroni salad was just okay. It's not a recipe I would make again.

This macaroni salad is a bit too mayo-heavy for my taste. I would reduce the amount of mayonnaise next time.

I found this macaroni salad to be a bit bland. I would add more salt and pepper next time.

This macaroni salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a fan of mayonnaise, so I use Greek yogurt in this macaroni salad instead. It's just as creamy and delicious.

I like to add some chopped hard-boiled eggs to this macaroni salad. It gives it a little extra protein and flavor.

This macaroni salad is a great make-ahead dish. I like to make it the day before a party so the flavors have time to meld.
