Cherri’s Macaroni Salad Recipe

Savory, not sweet, is what makes this macaroni salad stand out. Most grocery store macaroni salads are so sweet you might as well have them for dessert. I’ll have to double check with my Dad, but I think my Mom got this recipe from my Dad’s mother when they got married.
