  • About This Recipe

    “My sister gave me this recipe a long time ago.This salad is so good that you won’t want to stop eating it. I make it for my family and neighbors and usually end up with an empty bowl.Update:I DO NOT add the cup of sugar called for in the original recipe . It is sweet enough with just the sweetened condensed milk and still very “YUMMY.””

  • “This really is so good you want to eat the whole bowl!First off, it makes a lot of macaroni salad, so it’s great to take to the church pot-luck or picnic.Like others, I omitted the 1 C. sugar and it was plenty sweet–but with that little bit of tang!I added grated cheese and grated carrot, as others suggest.This is a winner! I”m thinking the dressing would make a delicious fresh fruit salad dressing!Mmmmmm….”

  • “Yuck…..went in the trash!It is crazy sweet!”

  • “We make this often at our house.It is yummy.Like another reviewer, we add 1-2 grated carrots to it.”

  • “Make this all the time. I add shredded carrots to make a colorful, very pretty salad. This is great the longer it sets. Yummy!!!”

  • “We serve this at about all our barbecues, I sometimes put a package of shredded cheese in it also. Sooooo good…”

  • “We thought it was a bit too sweet. It had a nice flavor though. I think it would be good to if you threw in some cheddar cheese with it!”
