MAC AND CHEESE SALAD



Mac and Cheese Salad image

Recently bought a container from a local chain grocery store. I made this according to what I taste in the salad. Not a huge Mac N Cheese guy, or macaroni salad either. This is very good. The fresh spinach is a nice addition. **The Dill is optional, but adds the little extra zip of 'mac n cheesiness' found in the store-bought version; adding with the sour cream and mayonnaise allows for the best distribution and flavour. --K**
