Macaroni Salad for a Crowd image

Basic and super easy macaroni salad that I make for family gatherings. I make mine with dill relish but you could change it if you prefer the sweet. Looks good and tastes even better the next day. The more you make it, the quicker you will get. Can be served right away, or make it ahead of time and keep it in the fridge.

This macaroni salad is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my macaroni salad turned out too dry. I think I'll add more mayonnaise 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 hard-boiled eggs, so I left them out of the recipe. The macaroni salad was still very good.

This macaroni salad is a great make-ahead dish. I usually make it the night before a party or potluck.

I'm allergic to celery, so I omitted it from the recipe. The macaroni salad was still delicious!

I'm not a huge fan of macaroni salad, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so flavorful and creamy, and the vegetables add a nice crunch.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touches. I usually add some chopped celery and red onion, and I sometimes use a different type of cheese, like cheddar or Swiss.

This macaroni salad was a hit at my last potluck! Everyone raved about it, and I had to give out the recipe to multiple people. It's definitely a keeper.
