Kraft Kitchens Tips

Makeover - How We Did It

This classic side salad was made over by decreasing the mayonnaise by half, using reduced fat sour cream in place of half-and-half and decreasing the number of eggs. These simple changes save you 70 calories and 7 grams of fat per serving. We also used multigrain pasta and added Dijon mustard for great flavor.

Special Extra

Sprinkle with paprika or smoked paprika before refrigerating.

Not the best macaroni salad I've ever had, but it was pretty good. My husband really liked it. I do not think I would make it again simply because I like to try other recipes.

Me and my husband love this recipe,and now it is the only macaroni salad I make. It is so easy to make and all of my friends ask for the recipe.

Switched out the proportions on mayo/sour cream, added some spices, rehydrated garlic, onions, bell peppers (Didn't have a fresh one handy) and some chunked turkey, fresh mushrooms, and cheese. This was a great dish to serve on the first hot day of the year when we didn't want to mess with hot food.

I doubled this recipe and took to church last thursday night. I received many complements! I added some garlic and ranch dressing to liven up just plain mayonnaise. ((I am not known for my kitchen abilities)). It was a hit! Will make again

I was very disappointed with this recipe. Not much flavor. My husband never complains about food, but even he thought it wasn't very good.

I did everything but the broccoli (didn't have it). It was great..not too heavy or strong, just the right amount of flavor. Everyone liked it at the party. Thanks!
