William Castillo
added mushrooms, jalapeños, hard boiled egg, cilantro and tuna. Muy bueno
Krista Melton
Wish I could rate it a 10 star. My husband loves it and he hates vinegar. So many flavors in this simple recipe. Had to make my own Beau Monde but still came out awesome.

Overall, this turned out well. It’s a nice mix of ingredients. I liked the cheddar cheese. I would cut the mayo down to ¾ cup next time, but that’s personal preference. I used red and yellow pepper instead of green and didn’t realize I was out of tomatoes. It’s a nice side dish.
Edwin Davis
I made it just like the recipe except that I cut up some slightly boiled carrots. Delicious!
Taylor White
For a 3 cup batch of macaroni I used about 1 1/2 cups of 1/4” cubed sharp cheddar instead of shredded. Used about 1/2 teaspoon each of onion and celery powder to begin with then more for taste
Katherine Matthews
This was delicious. I could not find Beau Monde seasoning so I used “salad supreme” seasoning instead and it was great. I will make this again.
Roy Maddox
The vinegar made the salad delightful. Big hit at my July 4th get together. I would not change anything about the recipe.
Sheryl Torres
I added more tomatoes
Shannon Davis
Multiplied recipe x 4. Cut cheese portion in half, replaced bell pepper with shredded carrots. Used a little less mayo.
Jason Farley
Will definitely make this again!
John Harvey
I made this recipe exactly as is and it was a HUGE hit in our house. It puts my other macaroni salad that I’ve made for over 30 years to shame. This one is a keeper. Thank you!
Kendra Huerta
It’s good, not great.
Johnny Graham
Really good taste!
John Hernandez MD
Very delicious. I added more tomatoes, a little bit of sugar, and extra cheese. It was good without adding anything extra but I wanted to tweek it a bit. I have made this to cater a small wedding. It’s always a hit. Thanks for sharing this!

BEST Macaroni Salad EVER! I added some shelled sunflower seeds (because I had some and needed to use them). I let it set in the fridge overnight and it seemed a little dry so I added a generous spoonful of mayo and stirred it up. LOVED it! Oh, and I also didn’t have any beaumonde seasoning, so I used Penzey’s Pasta Sprinkle – 1 tsp for every 2 servings. I put in 6 tsp for the full recipe. I’m making a double-batch for the pot-luck Labor Day party!

Whole family loved it. Husband said it was the best macaroni salad he has ever tasted. I left out the poblano and jalapeño peppers for my boys. Will make again!
James Cross
Absolutely amazing salad. Didn’t change a thing. I will never buy macaroni salad again. My family loved it.
Kristen Thompson
I followed the recipe and directions exactly, unless mixing regular Hellman’s / Hellman’s Light together is considered a substitution… This recipe is a keeper in our house!
James Hayes
I didn’t use green bell pepper, I used olive oil mayo, I used apple cider vinegar, I put diced jalapeños & diced white onion in it, and I made my own version of beau monde seasoning. I only changed it so much due to lack of ingredients, and/or preference. It turned out awesome! SPICY, but I love spicy.
Robert Perkins
I’ve made this several times. The Beau Monde seasoning makes the salad! It’s always a hit at family picnics. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Charlotte Guzman
I thought this was just ok, though my family said it was good. I would look elsewhere for another recipe next time. I did make some changes – using peas instead of peppers & leaving out onions due to preference. I also used many more tomatoes than called for.
