"This pasta salad is very similar to the KFC macaroni salad. It has all the classic ingredients you will find in the KFC salad. The secret ingredient in this version of it is the sweet pickle relish. Make this ahead of time as the flavors need time to meld."

This is a 5 star salad all the way! We loved this! My DH loves Macaroni Salad and usually buys a pre made Macaroni Salad from Woolworths but I usually never like it (it has a dry musty taste to me) BUT both DH and myself both really enjoyed this creamy and delicious version of Macaroni Salad. This is on the menu for next week again, and as an added bonus it is so easy and so much cheaper to make.
