My favorite macaroni salad growing up was from the deli in a G.C. Murphy back in the 50's and 60's. When the deli closed, my mom found a recipe which closely reminded me of the deli's. Tried to duplicate my mother's recipe where she actually made her own mayonnaise, but being a working mother, time restraints did not allow it. So I tried different shortcuts and this one seems to work. My family loves this one and I am asked to bring it to every picnic/party/cookout we go to. I get a lot of compliments on this recipe, so I thought I would share.
