Weezie - Macaroni Salad recipe :)

[Guest guest]

(((Weezie)))

I'm always glad to help!

*wink* ((((thank you for your message))))

Here is the WW Macaroni Salad recipe, from WW International - -

I didn't originally post it, though.

*also* I use half as much of the dressing ingredients (FF sour cream, FF mayo, and pickle relish) as the recipe says - this way, I can indulge in 1 cup of the macaroni salad for 5 points.

*Important Note: I think the original recipe was figured out with the OLD points for 1 cup of cooked pasta - it used to be 3 points per cup, cooked.

It changed earlier this year - Now, 1 cup of cooked pasta = 4 points.

Thus, 1 cup of this macaroni salad, using half the dressing suggested, = 5 points

[Also, I cook my macaroni for salad until it is soft, not al dente - 8 ounces of macaroni cooked this way becomes almost 6 cups cooked.)

If you like very creamy salads, then I would suggest you follow the amounts in the recipe rather than my variation.
