i didnt participate in the now closed thread, but i was reading. i noticed you needed a macaroni salad recipe. i got this one from david venable a while ago and it is quite good! just thought i would share it with you.... he posted it last year right around the 4th of july. i have left out the ham and eggs before if you dont want any meats/eggs.

all american macaroni salad

Ingredients:
Salad:
4 cups elbow macaroni, cooked, drained, and chilled
1 cup red onion, chopped

1 cup frozen peas, defrosted
1/2 cup red peppers, chopped
1 cup carrots, grated
3 eggs, hardboiled and chopped
1/2 lb thinly sliced deli ham, diced

Combine the elbows, onion, celery, peas, red peppers, carrots, eggs, and ham in a large mixing bowl. Then, in a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, vinegar, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, sugar, and celery seed.
