Classic Macaroni salad

I decided to separate some of my summer salads in posts for easy label access.

This is my recipe for macaroni salad and I often add white albacore tuna to it for a nice lunch.  Served over a bed of lettuce adds to make it a beautiful presentation.

Enjoy!

NOTE:  Since my last post I decided to use onion powder instead of fresh onion in my macaroni and potato salad. I like it better.  Your choice.

I use 1/2 tsp.

Of onion powder

In my recipe

Instead of fresh onion.
