ReplyDeleteOoh, where did you get this recipe? It sounds SO good. I wonder if adding some lemon juice would give it some zip. What do you think?

ReplyDeleteYour macaroni salad sounds lovely - perfect for summer, or anytime for that matter! Thanks for hosting Tuesdays at the Table.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious (minus the avocado, since I'm allergic). Have you tried adding balsamic vinegar? It goes well with tomato, basil, and mozzarella; I don't know how it would work with avocado.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting!
love avocados!!! I linked up with a unique recipe this week; one that calls for kohlrabi. Didn't know if too many people were familiar with kohlrabi, but for those who are here is another way to fix them. thanks for hosting!

ReplyDeleteHi Cole :-)
ReplyDeleteFirst, about your previous posting about the cupcakes cookbook. Cupcakes have become all the rage, haven't they? I recently made LOTS of cupcakes for our grand daughter's first B-day party. Visit our blog and look them up, I promise you, they are beyond 'Yummie!' Oh yeah. o;-p
Now, about today's posting. My mom use to make this Macaroni Salad that people still inquire about. It was unique and creamy, and you just reminded me that I want to find where I put that recipe!!! ... Besides the cooked macaroni, it also had small chuncks of Velveeta cheese, and pimento, and green pepper and ... humm mmm brain is failing me here. Thanks for the reminder to FIND that!!!
Sound yummy! This one's a keeper.
