The Best Macaroni Salad I've Ever Had

My husband and I like to watch all the cooking shows on Food Network and the Cooking Channel. We were watching Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives when Guy Fieri visited The Shed in Ocean Springs, MD. They demonstrated how to make Mama Mia's Macaroni Salad. It looked delicious!

After a short search on Google, I found this recipe. I've adapted it a little to suit our taste. If you're looking for something to take to your next get-together, try this. It's yummy.

This recipe makes enough to feed about 8 or so people. I always make it and keep it in the fridge and we snack on it during the week. You could easily halve this recipe if you wanted to.
