$5 Macaroni Salad Recipe | Easy Budget-Friendly Side Dish

Macaroni Salad

I think it’s safe to say Macaroni Salad is a summer potluck or BBQ staple. Like, if I turned up and didn’t see a big ol’ bowl of classic macaroni salad on the table, I’d honestly be a little concerned. It’s cold, creamy, carby, and totally nostalgic. The kind of side dish that just belongs next to grilled burgers or veggie skewers. It’s also super cheap to make, which I really appreciate. But this easy mac salad isn’t just good for gatherings, it’s also a great side to meal prep for your lunches for the week!

Easy Recipe for Macaroni Salad

Macaroni salad starts with one of my favorite budget-friendly staples: macaroni, of course. It’s a creamy pasta salad at heart (and there are a lot of ways to make it), but here’s how I like to do it. I mix in celery, bell pepper, and red onion for crunch and color, plus a couple of hard-boiled eggs to make it more filling. The dressing is that classic deli-style combo of mayo, Dijon, sweet pickle relish, a splash of vinegar, a pinch of sugar, and salt and pepper. It’s classically creamy, sweet, tangy, crunchy, and delicious. 🤤

Top Tip

I absolutely love the bite of the red onion in this recipe. It adds a really nice contrast to the creamy dressing. But if you’re someone who doesn’t love that sharp, raw onion flavor, try soaking the chopped onion in cold water for about 10 minutes before mixing it in. Just make sure to drain it well and pat it dry with a paper towel so it doesn’t water down the salad. This trick takes the edge off without losing any crunch!

What Else Can I Add to Macaroni Salad?

This homemade macaroni salad is another one of those great catch-all recipes. You can add all sorts of ingredients for color, texture, and flavor. Here are some add-in ideas I love:

  • Cheddar cheese cubes
  • Broccoli florets
  • Peas
  • Black olives
  • Shredded carrots
  • Diced ham
  • Chopped parsley
  • Leftover grilled chicken
  • Diced dill pickles
  • Crispy air fryer bacon crumbles

Storage Instructions

Macaroni salad can be kept in the refrigerator for about 3–4 days. The macaroni will continue to absorb moisture as it sits in the refrigerator, so you may find it gets a little drier each day. If taking your mac salad to a potluck or BBQ, make sure to not let it sit out at room temperature for more than two hours.

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

Pour the dressing over top, then stir until everything is well combined and coated in dressing.

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).

I like mine with just a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity and creaminess of the dressing, so that’s what you’ll get with this recipe. If you like yours sweeter, you can simply add more sugar to taste (up to about ¼ cup sugar).
