Well I know you are already making your salad by now Debbie but I thought I would throw my version in here too. Ha! you know where I got that don't ya? Ha.
I'm a sour cream fan.
Do any noodle you want but one of my favs is the triple colored twist noodles.
Cool the noodles in the frig. I leave my noodles firm cause you know how they absorb the liquids from the dressing.
2 finely slice carrots, one cluster of small chopped pieces uncooked broccoli, 1 half medi/Lg fine chopped sweet onion(vadalia), 3 stalks medium sliced celery, a couple chopped hard boiled eggs, and really any vegie you like made into bite size easy to chew pieces.
I mix real mayonaise and sour cream in equal parts about a cup each. You might want to add more of each once you mix it in to the noodles if it isn't wet enough. I like my mac salad real moist.
Mix a few small squirts of yellow mustard, I don't use a lot.
Mix into the mayo, sour cream and mustard about 3/4 cup chopped pickle or chuncky relish.
Mixe the mayo/SC stuff into the vegies and throughly mix.
Loosen the cooled noodles so they aren't clumped together. Dump the mayo/vegies mixture on top the noodles, add salt and course ground pepper on top and then gently turn it over from the bottom of the bowl to mix it. Test and add more salt/pepper if needed to taste. You can also add other spices like celery seed, chives if you like.
Chill a couple hours. Its better the second day!
