Macaroni Salad

This is the perfect BBQ salad. While the weather isn’t exactly ready for full BBQ season, we still like to BBQ in the late winter/early spring. I am always looking for new recipes for BBQ because we love to grill.

This macaroni salad is so simple to cook up and pairs so nicely with any meaty BBQ meal- especially grilled chicken drumsticks. It’s tangy, it’s creamy and its hearty. And the best part- the longer you leave it, the yummier it tastes!

At your next BBQ, cook up this macaroni salad and everyone will be gossiping about it all night long!
