CREAMY MACARONI SALAD



Creamy Macaroni Salad image

I have looked all over for a great macaroni salad; this one is it! It's easy and is a huge hit at every function I take it to. The sauce for this is a great creamy sauce. I like my salads to have a lot of creamy dressing, so I always make an extra half batch of the wet mix and add it as necessary to get the salad more wet because the pasta soaks up the sauce.

CREAMY CHICKEN MACARONI SALAD



Creamy Chicken Macaroni Salad image

Lisa, who lives next door, gave me this recipe several years ago. This is really a delicious chicken salad. The red grapes and the brown in the sliced almonds will help to give it color and make it look more appealing, so do resist the temptation to used green grapes and/or blanched almonds. This is great as a potluck dish or as a meal on a hot day. As with any dish containing mayonnaise, please use caution and keep cool until serving. Keep any extras refrigerated for safety's sake. This is a meal for four very hungry people or as a side dish for over a dozen adults. Cooking time includes cooking the chicken and macaroni (at the same time) while cutting the grapes.
