I’m always on the lookout for a new salad, specially if it has macaroni in it. This three bean macaroni salad is somewhat similar to our popular peas and pasta salad in that it has a nice creamy dressing and a nice crunch thanks to onion and bell pepper. The addition of dill really makes the dressing even better.

I can see adding cubed pepper jack cheese to this three bean macaroni salad to really take it over the top, so I included it in the recipe (though I didn’t make it with the cheese).

I recently discovered Blue Plate mayonnaise, which I think is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

Also try my regular-ole-macaroni salad. Classic flavor in every bite.

This recipe is based on a recipe from Kraft.
