DUNKLEY'S FAMOUS MACARONI SALAD



Dunkley's Famous Macaroni Salad image

For large gatherings, I think this salad would go over great! This is one of the best tasting macaroni salads I have ever had! I know there are a lot of ingredients, but don't skimp. The flavor sensation is absolutely incredible!! I saw this on Food Network's 'Calling All Cooks', and got the recipe from the website. This recipe serves about 25 people. NOTE: The ORIGINAL recipe calls for 1-2 Tbsps. garlic salt, and that's the way I entered the recipe. If you are salt sensitive, I suggest you use less. You can always add more.

I saw this recipe on Food Network back years ago when it was the Food Channel. This was a recipe shared by a viewer, named Dunkley. I have been making this ever since and it is my favorite pasta salad. It makes a lot of salad, so make it when you will be feeding a crowd. Everyone who has tried it has really liked it. I hope...
