I use Famous Dave's Sweet & Spicy pickle relish to kick it up a notch, but if you don't want that much zip, use regular relish.

How To Make my macaroni and cheddar cheese salad

  • Step 1
    Prepare macaroni according to package directions. You want to cook the macaroni well, but still firm so it will hold up in the salad.
  • Step 2
    Mix dressing ingredients, cheese and relish.
  • Step 3
    Combine all in bowl and chill.
  • Step 4
    Note: After a few hours, if the dressing is absorbed and the macaroni is dry I just add more m.whip and / or mayo.
