Secret Recipe Club – The Perfect Macaroni Salad

Macaroni Salad

It’s Secret Recipe Club reveal day again!

This month my blog assignment was Eliot’s Eats – After reading the about me page I found out that the blogger behind Eliot’s Eats wants to be anonymous. I did find out that she loves to travel, I’d guessed this from reading through the blog, the pictures made me so jealous of all the great places she’s been!

It took me ages to decide what I wanted to make as there was so much to choose from, but I finally decided on this Macaroni Salad. It sounded absolutely delicious and I’m so glad I made it because it really is delicious! I left out the capers as I don’t like them, but other than that I followed the recipe and I’ll definitely be making it again as it went down so well with the other half as well!
