Great mac salad! Tastes better if left in the fridge for a few hours, and if you don't like black pepper, i would only put in a tsp instead of a tbsp b/c it's a bit much. Definitely a keeper!

This just didn't have the wow factor. Nothing special.




Good - but too much garlic

As a garlic-aholic I never thought I'd say this, but this recipe has too much garlic! It really overpowers everything else. Next time I'd use way less, and maybe even eliminate it altogether. Otherwise - yum!




Nice kick

This is a great basic recipe with an added kick. I could not find Peppdew peppers and didn't replace with anything. Would be interesting to know what I'm missing. I went a little easy on the red onion since not everyone likes that strong flavor. I think I'd add a bit more peperchini, but maybe that's becuz I didn't have the other peppers. Had a nice crunch with the carrot and celery. Very good.




LOVED IT

If you like macaroni salad kicked up a bit...this is the one. I had the peppadew peppers from one of Guy's other recipes and had to try this one. I found nice little tube pasta forf this recipe. I will definately make this again and use it in my catering biz! Thanks Guy!

Mac salad with a surprise gentle kick

I live in Oregon and had no luck in finding Peppadews at all. I have a friend in PA that brought me some from there when she came home for Christmas, so I could findly make the salad. I took it to a pot luck and got lots of compliments. I am sure they didn't know what it was that gave it the kick until I told them. You can find them on line but the shipping is as much as the peppadews. I am sure it is worth the effort if you can find them.




Simply Delicious

My family and I really like this recipe, whether in the Summer or Winter, have found it to be very versitile. Easy enough to spice it up or leave it just as is.




Lovin' this salad!

I could not find peppadew peppers so I had to omit them. Will keep looking. I love the flavors and textures in this recipe. I do not like spicy mac salad so I made it my liking. Guy has become a fav of mine also...he ROCKS and I will continue to try his easy recipes.




Very good

Big Hit!

This macaroni salad variation was spicy and fresh tasting and just plain delicious! I prefer less sauce, so I added part of an extra bag of macaroni... but that's just me. I'm more of a pasta person so I always go light on sauce. It took some time to prep the ingredients, but it was worth the time. This is a definite keeper. Spicy but not too spicy.




Great taste

This was easy to make & had great flavor. I added smoked mozzerela because I needed to use it up & it was great. Everyone enjoyed it.

I love pasta salad but not over done or too bland. The ingredients give this a unique "kick" with a nice touch of tradition. It will be a permanent item on my salad and sidedish list!




Great Flavor!!!!

At first I wasn't sure about some of the ingrediants in this salad...if they would taste good together, but since I was planning on making a macaroni salad anyway I thought that I would try this recipe out and I am SOOOO glad I did. Really, really good!! I'm craving more right now as I type this!!




Too much sauce

I really liked all the vegetables and the spicy peppers but there was too much mayo, mustard and garlic. I might try this again sometime but i would half the garlic/mayo and mustard. It took a long time to cut up all the veggies. It is spicy so be sure you like that before trying.




easy and fast to make

Great combination of flavors, simple preparation for a 'Man-Food' winner! I added some minced Habanero, but I know I'm a pepper-holic... When does football season start?
