    My mother-in-law uses the same dressing recipe for egg salad, ham salad, coleslaw and other salads. It’s great. And your right it is sweet and tangy. Yummmmm

    Hi Mary
    I made your Amish Macaroni last week and my husband loved it. I kept the recipe as my main macaroni salad recipe to bring to parties and cookouts. Thanks for sharing it!

    Wow! Just wow! I made this amazing salad last night and let the flavors meld overnight. Wow! By far, this is the best macaroni salad I have ever tasted. Amazing! I’m coining a phrase…this is “stupid” good. Thank you so much for the recipe. I made it exactly as written.

    I grew up on Miracle Whip and I love that tangy zip. Having said that if I am serving anything that will be shared with my Hellman's and/or Duke's loving pals, I sometimes will mix it with Miracle Whip. Just cannot "do" straight mayo! I've tried.

    This salad looks delicious but I'll wait a week or so to try it as I just did the family favorite Tuna Mac Salad. After eating it for three days, I'm over it—for now. Your Amish Mac Salad would be similar in its base.
