“I remember my mom making the best macaroni salad when I was a kid. I wanted to make mine similar to hers, but added a few things I like, such as pimiento, vinegar, and a gherkin for a little tartness to balance out the sweetness. My husband, who doesn't really like pasta salads, loves this!” - by TIMSGAL

"This was a good recipe, but I thought a little on the sweet side. Maybe I used too much sweet pickle. Will definitely try it again..." See more"
