A summer barbecue isn’t complete without a macaroni salad!  I love our Traditional Macaroni Salad, but decided to try something a little different this time around.  The salad is easy to throw together and is full of flavor!  It is perfect for a party or potluck!

    We made this for my birthday weekend and oh wow was it a hit! Because we had leftovers, we stored it in the refridgerator until the next day - it was a bit dry so we just simply added a bit more bbq sauce and it again was perfection! My son just can't get enough - it's such a great summer salad. Two thumbs up from me and my family!

    I've been intrigued by this ever since I found it on Pinterest a couple weeks ago. I made it today and it's delicious. I added some leftover grilled chicken to make it a complete meal for lunch. Even without the chicken it would be a great side dish when grilling burgers.
