A flavorful update of a classic picnic side dish. We’ve removed the excessive mayo typical of macaroni salad and added a dollop of sour cream. If you’re going to throw dietary caution to the wind, your mac salad should at least taste good. We recommend serving it beside a vegetable side and our easy baked whole chicken recipe for a well-balanced meal.
Game plan: The macaroni salad can be made up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated in a covered container. Stir well before serving.
This recipe was featured as part of both our Picnic for the Fourth of July menu and our photo gallery of Picnic Recipes.
Instructions
- 1Place mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, paprika, and pepper in a large nonreactive bowl and whisk to combine.
- 2Add remaining ingredients and stir to evenly coat. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
