Dill Pickle Macaroni Salad

Dill Pickle Macaroni Salad

Macaroni Salad is the quintessential Summer picnic comfort food. Pasta Salads are a favorite of mine because not only are they so easy to make but they are a blank canvas for endless combinations of textures & flavors. That takes us to this version which features another favorite, the Dill Pickle. I happen to love Pickles, so making them center of a new recipe is always fun & exciting.

Serves 6-8
