I don't really use a recipe, but for the dressing I generally use about 2
parts mayo to 1 part sour cream and a teaspoon or so of mustard. In the
macaroni I put some or all of the following, whatever I have on hand or on
a whim... celery, celery seed, finely chopped scallion (much milder than
onion), diced seeded cucumber, shredded carrot, finely chopped stuff
olives, green pepper, choped pickle or relish, fresh dill weed, salt,
pepper... probably other things if I spot them in the fridge.
