“This pasta salad is a keeper and I have made pasta salads for years. The cider vinegar and the bacon really take it up a notch. I found the sour cream flavour a bit strong on day one but the salad got better each day. Definitely will make it again.” — a cook, 5.0★
“This macaroni salad is so good. I made.it as a side for tonight's dinner and everyone liked it. I like the addition of the bacon, it gives the macaroni salad a different flavor. As always, Joanna, thank you for sharing another great recipe.” — a cook, 5.0★
